A Royal Commandment
Phil Keaggy
Have you a standard to live by,
Some absolute to live by,
Lift the banner up on high,
Let the nations see it fly,
Humanism is a lie,
Have you a standard to live by?
Have an occasion to rise to,
Something much better to rise to,
This world's wisdom just won't do,
It will hardly get you through,
Complicated points of view,
Have something better to rise to.
A Royal Commandment to live by,
A pure law of love to live by,
Lift your heart and lift your eyes,
Your redemption draweth nigh,
This is where it all applies,
A Royal Commandment to live by.
