Because obedience is better than sacrifice
It behooves us, does it not
To become deeply acquainted
With the commandments from God
Because of sin’s inherent seed
Man’s nature conflicts with God’s law
It is impossible to heed
His ‘Thou shalt’ without holy awe
Sometimes we try to justify
Our apathy with pious ruse
The love of God pours from on high
And offers grace but not excuse
Because obedience is better than sacrifice
We should with humble diligence
Acquaint this soul-fraught edifice
With Hope’s righteous requirements
