Doing As Jesus Did

Since one hundred percent obedient
Is what our Master had to be,
Making our own terms with God
Will never be allowed you and me.

Life shows us this:
Suffering almost always does.
But by whatever way we come
To learn to say (and mean)
"Do with my life what You think best,"
Only then do we know real joy,
Feel deep peace of mind,
Experience what Jesus taught and knew --
That our loving Father longs to see us
One hundred percent blest.

Day-by-day obedience
           Is the one,
                    Sure,
                         Way.
