We Are Not Deceived Into Obedience (song)

[Verse 1]
I used to read the words I liked
And turn the page on what I knew.
Then I read, “If you love Me,
Keep My commandments,” straight through.
I'd said I loved You all those years,
I'd sung it every Sabbath day.
But when Your words crossed what I wanted,
Which one did I obey?
[Chorus]
If I won't keep Your law, then I'm a lawbreaker,
Whatever name I give the road I'm on.
I wasn't deceived into obedience,
Your Word showed me where I'd gone wrong.
Yeshua, You forgave me when I stumbled,
And I'm learning how to walk in what is true.
When the words I sing are put to the test,
Let the way I live say I love You.
[Verse 2]
James said a mirror shows a man
The face he ought to know.
But he can turn and walk away
And forget what he was shown.
So when Your Word lays bare my sin,
Yahweh, help me face the truth.
Give me the courage to make it right
With the ones I've wounded too.
[Bridge]
Shall we go on sinning
So grace may still abound?
Paul said, “Certainly not!”
How can I turn that answer ’round?
You showed me mercy, gave me hope,
And taught these wandering feet
To follow where Yeshua walked
When the cost is mine to meet.
[Final Chorus]
If I won't keep Your law, then I'm a lawbreaker,
Whatever name I give the road I'm on.
I wasn't deceived into obedience,
Your Word showed me where I'd gone wrong.
Yeshua, You forgave me when I stumbled,
And I'm learning how to walk in what is true.
When the words I sing are put to the test,
Let the way I live say I love You.
[Outro]
When there's no one there to hear me sing,
Let the way I live say I love You.
