Be Quick to Obey

VERSE 1

A certain man he had two sons

The younger of them said to his father

Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me

And he divided unto them his living

Not many days after the younger son gathered all together

And took his journey into a far country

There he wasted his substance with riotous living

He had spent all that he had

CHORUS

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself

VERSE 2

There arose a mighty famine

And he began to be in want

And he joined himself to a citizen of that country

And he sent him into his fields to feed the swine

And he would have filled his belly

With the husks that the swine did eat

And no man gave unto him.

CHORUS

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself

VERSE 3

And when he came to himself he said

How many hired servants of my father's house

Have bread enough to eat and bread enough to spare

And I perish here with hunger!

I will arise and I will go to my father

Say, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee

I am no more worthy to be called thy son

Make me one of your hired servants

CHORUS

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself

VERSE 4

And he arose and came to his father

But when he was a great way off, his father saw him

And had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck

And kissed him and then he said

Bring forth a robe, and put it on

Put a ring on his finger and get some shoes

Bring the fatted calf, lets kill it; and eat, and let us be merry

For my son was dead, is now alive

He was lost, and now is found

CHORUS

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself

You must be quick to believe

Be quick obey

You must be quick to change your mind

You must be quick to hear

You must be quick to receive

Be quick to understand

You must be quick to humble yourself

Be quick to yield yourself
