“Do We Mean What We Sing?” by Steve Proctor


  •  “Soldiers of Christ, Arise” (just not too early!)
  •  “Seeking the Lost” (as long as it doesn’t require too much of my time.)
  •  “We’ll Work ‘Til Jesus Comes” (if the work doesn’t conflict with my busy schedule.)
  •  “Tell Me the Old, Old Story” (if it doesn’t take too long.)
  •  “Have Thine Own Way, Lord” (if it doesn’t conflict with what I want.)
  •  “If Jesus Goes With Me” (it may be embarrassing for us both!)
  •  “O Lord, Our Lord” (I say it every time I’m angry or hit my thumb with a hammer!)
  •  “More About Jesus Would I Know” (unless it requires that I read and study my Bible every day; Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15.)
  •  “Give Me the Bible” (just don’t make it too challenging.)
  •  “I’m Not Ashamed to Own My Lord” (until I’m in the company of unbelievers.)
  •  “Take the World, But Give Me Jesus” (just don’t take too much of it!)

Pay attention to what we sing and make sure we’re honest with what we’re saying to God and each other.
