One Thing’s Important


Put away the vain thing, the vanity of life

  Put on Christ in His fullness, pure and holy

    Put off the old man, dead and corrupting

Put your holy hands to His plow, His yoke is easy, His burden light!


Why do we drink the foreign waters, the currents of the self-life

  When we have the living waters to drink without money, without cost

    Where are the ones who despised His gift of grace

Will not rise to life once they are twice dead!


Could we miss His highest call for just a piece of stale bread

  Come up higher, He calls but we eat vanity when we deny His call

    Can we deny Him when He offers true life, free from sin’s power

Call on Him for He is near, and He who made the ear will hear y our cry


So don’t try to understand things too profound for you

  Simple things are obvious even to the slow and uneducated

    Say to the Lord your heart’s questions and He will cause you to know

So many things hidden from the wise and made known to the simple who seek His face!
