STAY IN LOVE WITH GOD
Music and lyrics by Charles Turner
Life is full of distractions.
It's easy to wander away;
so to counter those sinful attractions,
here's what John Wesley might say:Pray, pray to the Lord,
pray at all times and in all places.
Listen to Jesus make himself known
when you are silent and alone.
Stay in love with God,
love your neighbor as yourself;
think on the things above
stay in love with God.Fast, eat no bread -
hunger for God is faith in action.
Study the Bible every day,
follow the scripture's holy way.
Stay in love with God,
love your neighbor as yourself;
think on the things above
stay in love with God.Don't let distraction turn into inaction;
don't ever sink into despair!Share, share your faith
share with your friends and with your neighbors.
Demonstrate mercy, offer your hands;
this is what Jesus Christ commands.
Stay in love with God,
love your neighbor as yourself;
think on the things above
stay in love with God.
