Be Quick To Obey

A certain man he had two sons

The younger of them said to him

Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me

And he divided unto them his living, yeah 

See, not many days after the younger son gathered all together

And took his journey to a far country

There he wasted his substance on riotous living, oh yeah

And he spent everything

 

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself

 

Now there arose a mighty famine, yeah

And he began to be in want

And he joined himself to a citizen of that country (yes he did)

He sent him into the fields to feed the swine

And he would have filled his belly

With the husks that the swine did eat

And no man, nobody gave unto him

 

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself 

 

And when he came to himself he said

How many hired servants of my father's house

Have bread enough to eat and bread enough to spare

And I perish, I perish here with hunger!

I will arise and I will go to my father

Say, I have sinned against heaven and before thee

I am no more worthy to be called thy son

Make me one of your hired servants

 

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself

 

So he arose and came to his father

But when he was a great way off, his father saw him

And he had compassion, and ran and fell on him

And kissed him and this is what he said

Bring forth a robe, and put it on

Put a ring on his finger and get some shoes

Bring the fatted calf, lets kill and eat, and let us be merry

For my son was dead, is alive again

He was lost, and now is found

 

So you must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand (yeah yeah) 

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself

 

You must be quick, quick to believe

Be quick obey the word of God

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself
