[Intro – low drone, waves crashing on stone]
Domine, doce me vias tuas
Et ambulem in veritate tua
(Psalm 86:11)
[Verse 1 – finger-picked, voice like a call across the sea]
Jonah fled the word to Tarshish far
The storm arose, the sailors cried in fear
He learned obedience in the belly deep
And preached to Nineveh without a tear
Peter stepped upon the water wild
His eyes on Jesus, walking on the wave
But when he looked away, the doubt took hold
Yet obedience called him back to save
[Verse 2 – rain on ark wood, voice steady]
Noah heard the voice when skies were blue
And built the ark while mockers laughed him down
Obedience saved him from the drowning flood
And rainbow sealed the promise on the ground
Abraham climbed Moriah with the knife
His only son laid on the altar stone
He raised the blade, but God provided then
Obedience proved the faith that was his own
[Pre-chorus – monk choir, rising]
Non mea voluntas
Sed tua fiat
(“Not my will, but Yours be done” – Luke 22:42)
[Chorus – wide, resolute]
OBOEDIENTIA DEO
Obey the Lord, though storms may rage
OBOEDIENTIA DEO
Step out in faith upon the page
The word is given, the path is clear
No shadow hides when the call is near
(Hebrews 5:8)
Oboedientia Deo
In every yes, the victory won
[Verse 3 – thunder on the mount, voice lifts]
The rich young Pharisee turned away
He kept the law but could not give
Yet Paul, once persecutor, heard the voice
And said “Lord, what will You have me do?” to live
Obedience turned the murderer’s heart
To servant, apostle, chained yet free
The will surrendered to the risen King
Became the path of destiny
[Verse 4 – soft wind through garden, voice hushed]
In Gethsemane the sweat was blood
The cup was bitter, full of wrath
Yet Jesus prayed “Not Mine, but Thine”
And drank the judgment for our path
Obedience unto death, even the cross
The Son who learned through suffering
(Hebrews 5:8)
Became the Author of eternal life
To all who trust and cling
[Chorus – heavier, marching drums]
OBOEDIENTIA DEO
Obey the Lord, though storms may rage
OBOEDIENTIA DEO
Though sacrifice may turn the page
He learned obedience through what He suffered
The Son who bowed in garden prayer
Oboedientia Deo
In every yes, the victory won
[Bridge – silence, then single voice]
If you love Me, keep My commands
And I will ask the Father to send another
(John 14:15–16)
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord
(Psalm 37:23)
[Final Chorus – soaring, cathedral roar]
OBOEDIENTIA DEO
Let every no become a yes
OBOEDIENTIA DEO
In obedience find Your rest
Though waves may rise and mountains call
The faithful heart will never fall
(James 1:22)
Oboedientia Deo
Forever in His will we run
Amen.
[Outro – soft waves fading, monk choir]
Serva mandata mea
Et vive
(Proverbs 4:4)
Amen.
