Our lives
are filled with many things to do,
We've
scarcely a moment to rest;
Sometimes
it's hard to be faithful and true
And
stand up to life's rugged test.
In all
situations He'll see us through
For
us He will do what is best,
We must
work each temptation to subdue:
Our
efforts by Him will be blessed!
Chorus:
Jesus
said, "Seek first the kingdom…" my friend,
Those
who obey He will save in the end,
Take
the time your erring ways to amend:
For
someday the Father His Son will send,
And
with great power the Judge will descend
O! Prepare,
seek first the kingdom, my friend!
Take
time to think of the Savior each day,
He
took the time to die for you;
Too
soon to the grave you will pass away,
Your
time to think will then be through.
Some
things allow us the time to delay,
But
for others that is not true;
In all
situations, trust and obey --
Your
devotion to Him renew.
Chorus:
Jesus
said, "Seek first the kingdom…" my friend,
Those
who obey He will save in the end,
Take
the time your erring ways to amend:
For
someday the Father His Son will send,
And
with great power the Judge will descend
O! Prepare,
seek first the kingdom, my friend!
Christians
must keep their priorities straight,
We
have an example to set;
We can't
let our fervor for Him abate,
His
suff'ring we cannot forget.
All
wickedness we must eliminate,
Such
devotion we'll not regret.
At life's
end great blessings for us await:
Our
race is not finished just yet!
Chorus:
Jesus
said, "Seek first the kingdom…" my friend,
Those
who obey He will save in the end,
Take
the time your erring ways to amend:
For
someday the Father His Son will send,
And
with great power the Judge will descend
O! Prepare,
seek first the kingdom, my friend!
