If we have listened to Christ, will we show it?
His teaching shines as it shows us the way
It makes us happy to hear and to know it
But we'll be blessed if we know and obey

(CHORUS)
Listen, obey, and be blessed
When you hear God's will expressed
If you'd be happy and enter his rest
Listen, obey, and be blessed

Our way of life, like a house, gives protection
When it is built on the rock, not on sand
If we apply Jesus' loving direction
We'll build a life which on bedrock will stand

Listen, obey, and be blessed
When you hear God's will expressed
If you'd be happy and enter his rest
Listen, obey, and be blessed

Just as a tree rooted deep by the waters
Gives of its fruit when each season arrives
If we obey as God's own sons and daughters
We'll all be blessed and enjoy endless lives
