Sisters and brothers,
It should not astonish you
To give lotsa credit
To the workers who admonish you
They work so hard—they care for your needs
Hold ‘em in regard for all their good deeds
Warn the lazy—care for the sickly
Comfort the terrified when life is gettin’ prickly
Be so patient they’ll call you “Job”
No matter where your brothers are
Around the globe
Kindness seems like a needle in a haystack
See to it nobody ever gives payback
Always do all the good you can
And spread a lot of joy to ev’ry woman and man
Don’t be smotherin’ the Holy Spirit
Test ev’ry prophecy when you hear it
Never never scoff, and if it comes true
Then accept what the prophecy has for you

(2x) /// This is the will of God /// — In Christ Jesus for You
You gotta keep prayin’ in ev’ry situation
Let the Lord know you’re His for the duration
Keep away from evil and you can be sure
That the God of peace
will make you perfectly pure
Let your heart be set apart—full of devotion
Strength of spirit deeper than the ocean
Bright as the stars in the belt of Orion
Soul and body as strong as a lion
Till that day when the Lord comes back
Gotta keep on keepin’ on—stayin’ on track
God’s gonna do ev’rything He promised
Never stop praisin’ Him like a psalmist
Life is hard—full of disaster
Be His child—let him be your master
When your troubles keep increasing
I’ll tell you again to pray without ceasing

This is the will of God
In Christ Jesus for You

While I’m on the subject, let me just say
I serve a great God, but my feet are clay
I got rhymes, but it shouldn’t impress
Though I talk a big talk, I can still make a mess
I could speak in tongues of angels and men
Without love,
It doesn’t matter what I’m writin’ with my pen
We all gotta choose the blessing or the curse
Stick around while I enumerate one more verse

This is the will of God
In Christ Jesus for You

If you wanna know God,
Then here’s where you start
You gotta give thanks with a grateful heart
When the Lord comes back to take us all away
You gotta be blameless on that day
God’s gonna do what He said He’d do
He’ll sanctify you through and through
The one who calls us can be trusted
He won’t quit till we’re done and dusted
God’s gonna make you holy and whole
With a blameless spirit, body, and soul
Free from sin and ev’ry affliction
Now it’s time to give the benediction
Keep on readin’
Keep on prayin’
Keep on listenin’ to what the Lord’s sayin’
One more thing before we dismiss
Ya gotta greet all the brothers with a holy kiss
Pray for us, and we’ll pray, too
May the grace
Of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you

This is the will of God
In Christ Jesus for You
