Lyrics

Father I desire to be purged from sin
And all my evil ways for I was born in sin
Songs and hymns alone couldn't save my soul
Even if the local church were made of gold

I look to you to set the standard
For the morals of this world can change each day
Teach me Lord, I pray

( chorus )
ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD, Lord I choose to live
ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD, that You freely give
I hide it in my heart, that I might not sin
I hide it in my heart, to make a change within
I can live a life of goodness
If I daily put in practice what I've heard
And live ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD

I'm about to hear what's required of me
There's something for us all individually
I am open now and I'll take it in
Then I'll read it for myself to fully comprehend

It matters not if I'm accepted
For the morals of this world can change each day
But Your Word I will obey

( repeat chorus )
