To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice Lyrics - Keith Green

To obey is better than sacrifice 

I don't need your money, I want your life 

And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon 

But you act like I'll never return 

Well you speak of grace and my love so sweet 

How you thrive on milk but reject my meat 

And I can't help weeping at how it will be 

If you keep on ignoring my words 

Well you pray to prosper and succeed 

But your flesh is something I just can't feed 

To obey is better than sacrifice 

I want more than Sundays and Wednesday nights 

'Cause if you can't come to me everyday 

Then don't bother coming at all 

To obey is better than sacrifice 

I want hearts of fire, not your prayers of ice 

And I'm coming quickly to give back to you 

According to what you have done 

According to what you have done 

According to what you have done
