    The poem expresses a desire to be obedient to God no matter the cost or what is asked. The speaker wants God to show them what path to take and what to do, whether it involves weeping silently, praying loudly, donating possessions, or praising publicly. The speaker says they will follow God's will to earn God's smile and friendship, seeing obedience as better than sacrifice when faith is imperfect. They ask God to guide them through doubts and in the right direction.

    Obedient by Kristi Sayles

    I want to be obedient No matter what the cost Show me what path to take, Oh Lord I know I'll not get lost

    Tell me to weep in silence Prompt me to pray out loud Donate all I have to the poor Or shout praises in a crowd

    I'll wash in the muddy Jordan Or dip in a Tennessee creek Show me what you'd have me do You'll find me willing and meek

    Don't care what the world says about me I'll follow you to the end Just tell me how to earn a smile Want to be considered your friend

    Obedience is better than sacrfice When faith is less than perfection Hold my hand through these halls of doubt Guide me in the right direction

    I want to be obedient, Lord Your will I will obey Thank you for being my Savior Giving me strength for another day
