Guided by God

"We ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).

We ought to live in such a way
That brings God's blessing to our land,
But God alone we must obey
When there's a conflict of command.

It may not make the world applaud
When you hold fast this rule.
The world may label you as odd
And brand you as a fool.

Yet God esteems integrity,
Commending those as wise
Who live before His scrutiny,
Forsaking compromise.

How sweet is this simplicity
That clarifies our choice,
When guided by the clarity
Of heeding our God's voice.
