     G      D          Em   G
To obey is better than sacrifice
        C         D        G         D
I don't need your money, I want your life
      G        D            Em          G
And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon,
        C             D       G
But you act like I'll never return.

       G        D            Em      G
Oh you speak of grace and My love so sweet
        C         D          G       D
How you thrive on milk but reject my meat
      G          D          Em          G
And I can't help weeping at how it will be
       C         D         G
If you keep on ignoring My Word.

         D               G
Well you pray to prosper and succeed
         A                    D
But your flesh is something I just can't feed

    G      D           Em   G
To obey is better than sacrifice
       C         D           G         D
I want more than Sundays and Wednesday nights
          G         D          Em   G
'Cause if you can't come to Me everyday,
     C            D         G
Then don't bother coming at all.

    G      F           Em   G
To obey is better than sacrifice
       C         D              G          D
I want hearts of fire, not your prayers of ice
        G      D          Em           G
And I'm coming quickly to give back to you 
  C          D             G
According to what you have done.
