Just Disobey

1. When we walk with the Lord, grace that none can afford
   fills us fuller than goods that decay.
   Though some tell us we’re poor, and should gather much more,
   their desires we’ll just disobey.

   Refrain

   Just disobey, for there’s no other way
   to confront human falsehood than to just disobey.

    
2. When temptations arise, singing sweetly their lies,
   to live life in a world-honored way,
   neither bowed nor enthroned, all as family, God-owned,
   inequalities just disobey.

   Refrain  

3. Every sin we reveal, every wrong we repeal,
   to bring justice forth without delay;
   and the light that we shine on each greedy design
   calls the whole world to just disobey.

   Refrain

4. But to thwart F-16’s and their murderous means
   or bid hired guns their guns put away
   carries with it a price -- suff’rings like those of Christ --
   borne by those who will just disobey.  

   Refrain

5. Yet we’re positive folk, for the fires that we stoke
   show our hope in that long yearned-for Day
   when the “No!” we maintain echoes “Yes!” to the reign
   of the One we must trust and obey.

   Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
   to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

    
6. Then with new sky and earth we’ll all share in new birth
   of the goodness born out of the fray
   fought with courage by those who with love’s boldness chose
   whom to tell “No” and whom to obey.

   Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
   to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
