Obedience Brings a Blessing

[Verse 1] Sometimes it seems so very hard to do what God is asking, It cuts across the grain of selfish pride; But when we give our all to Him without a reservation, It brings such peace and joy down deep inside. [Chorus] Obedience brings a blessing, Obedience brings a blessing, It always works: it never fails, I've found; Just daring to step out upon the promises of Jesus, Will always work; it never fails to bring the blessing down. [Verse 2] Then Jonah heard the voice of God say, 'Be My missionary,' He tho't there was no way he could obey; But when his disobedience caused him lots of pain and trouble, He found it was not hard to go God's way. [Chorus] Obedience brings a blessing, Obedience brings a blessing, It always works: it never fails, I've found; Just daring to step out upon the promises of Jesus, Will always work; it never fails to bring the blessing down. [Verse 3] Don't let your life become so crowded with the task of living, That you have no time left to seek the Lord; Don't let Him have to slow you down to get His message to you, Obedience always brings its own reward. [Chorus] Obedience brings a blessing, Obedience brings a blessing, It always works: it never fails, I've found; Just daring to step out upon the promises of Jesus, Will always work; it never fails to bring the blessing down.
