[38] Duty
[Verse 1]
So important it is for us
that the Father sent His only Son
to show the way.
Every step the Lord has taken
was His example how we must live.
He taught us what we must do
to develop the beauty
of the perfect heart of love.
For us, Heaven was forsaken,
the cross was taken to teach us His love.
[Refrain]
We must long for the duty,
that's to live like the Lord.
If we want our dwelling place
prepared by the Lord up in Heaven.
We must show our love to Him forever
with the heart that is like the Lord's.
We must show our love to Him forever
with the heart that is like the Lord's.
[Verse 2]
He taught us the way to go
on the narrow path
leading to the beautiful gates of Heaven.
The way is set before us.
Precious is our duty.
He's coming to take us home.
