Truth in Song ‎#16

16. A Better Way

1 Are you sinning day by day,
More or less upon your way,
Wrong in word, in tho’t and deed?
Still the name of Christ you plead.

Refrain:
There is a better way you should live;
Christ his abundant grace will give,
Make you holy and keep you so,
Help you conquer every foe.

2 Do you leave undone the good,
Do those things no Christian should?
For forgiveness must you pray
At the close of every day? [Refrain]

3 Does a foe within your breast
Bring you sorrow and unrest,
Hinder, trouble, and annoy,
Blight your peace and mar your joy? [Refrain]

4 Do you trust and feel secure,
Soon to doubt and not be sure?
Now a victor, now oppressed,
Now rejoicing, now distressed? [Refrain]
