OBEY GOD'S WORD

(Sung to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad.")

I'm - the ruler of a nation
Pha - raoh is my name
I'm - in charge of many people
From Abraham they came

But - a man who's name is Moses
Now wants to take them all away
Moses came to me demand - ing
Hear God's word this day

Let my people go
Let my people go
Listen to the God of Is - ra - el
Let my people go
Let my people go
Pharaoh let my people go

Now I lost my army com - plete - ly
All because I disobeyed the Lo - o - o - ord
Now my army's floating in the Red - Sea (pause)
I should have obeyed God's word

I've - been working for King Ba - lak
Ba - laam is my name
Ba - lak wants to fight God's peo - ple
Drive them back the way they came

Now - he's asking me to curse - them
He'll give me treasure for my pay
But - I won't be helping Ba - lak
Because I heard God say

Balaam don't you go
Balaam don't you go
Listen to the God of Is - ra- el
Balaam don't you go
Balaam don't you go
Balaam don't curse Is - ra - el

Now my donkey's talking back to - me
All because I disobeyed the Lo - o - o - ord
Now my talking donkey just saved me (pause)
From - the - an - gels sword

We should learn a lesson from God's - word
It doesn't pay to disobey the Lo - o - o - ord
But . . . happiness and blessing will find - us
If we obey God's word

Yes, happiness and blessing will find - us
If - we - ob - ey - God's word

Exodus 5-14
      Numbers 22
