Ordered Obedience

"Offer unto God thanksgiving, and pay thy vows unto the Most High: and call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.... Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God" (Psalm 51:14,15,23).

There is an order God commands
To live each day in time,
And everyone who understands
Will heed this paradigm.

First offer up to Him thanksgiving
For all that He has done,
For blessings found each day you're living
By grace through God the Son.

Pay your vows to the Most High
By your obedience,
That God may illustrate thereby
His joyful consequence.

Then call on Him in trouble's day,
And God will manifest
That He delivers those who pray,
And He will give them rest.

Thus we offer up our praise
And God is glorified,
As by this order God displays
Salvation He supplied.
