I’ll Do Your Will

Oh my God I delight in doing Your will
Yes, Your law is in my heart
Your word is true and You fulfill
So I’ll do Your will

When I consider what You've given me -
The sacred scriptures and the healing ministry of Christ
I ask myself what have I sacrificed?
Have I sacrificed?

In this age of confusion
I'm so glad to know
That Your clear commandments
Will unfailingly show me the way
And Your mercy is new every day.
It’s new every day

So if You say to love my brother I will
And if sin dances around me I'll stand still
And if the sick call out for help I won't deny
And I thank You for the answers You will surely supply.

Oh my God I delight in doing Your will
Yes, Your law is in my heart
Your word is true and You fulfill.
So I, I’ll do Your will.

Mark 1:4–8
John 3:27 A, 28 I said, 31, 34–36 (to :)

Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
John 3:27 . . . A man can receive nothing, except it be given man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 . . . I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
