Verse 1

It’s no easy thing for life to grow;

it requires a process;

it requires you to pay the cost,

and cooperate with God with one accord.

Thereby you’ll receive His praise.

Verse 2

The heavens and the earth and all things

established and complete,

that’s all thanks to the words of God’s mouth.

Do you understand yet?

With God there is nothing that can’t be accomplished.

Chorus

But you don’t yet understand God’s will.

You are not mindful of His burdens.

You fail to give His words their impact,

and you do not do as His word says.

You insist on being master of yourselves!

You are only thinking of yourselves,

too selfish to relieve His burdens.

Do you truly understand God’s will?

Verse 3

You should know God’s one and only wish

that you grow up quickly

to take the burden from His shoulders

and take it on as yours,

to do His labors for Him to satisfy His heart.

Chorus

But you don’t yet understand God’s will.

You are not mindful of His burdens.

You fail to give His words their impact,

and you do not do as His word says.

You insist on being master of yourselves!

You are only thinking of yourselves,

too selfish to relieve His burdens.

Do you truly understand God’s will?

Bridge

What son would refuse his father’s burdens?

What father would not labor night and day for his son?

What son would refuse his father’s burdens?

What father would not labor night and day for his son?

What son would refuse his father’s burdens?

What father would not labor night and day for his son?

What son would refuse his father’s burdens?

What father would not labor night and day for his son?

Chorus

But you don’t yet understand God’s will.

And you are not mindful of His burdens.

You fail to give His words their impact,

and you do not do as His word says.

You insist on being master of yourselves!

You are only thinking of yourselves,

too selfish to relieve His burdens.

Do you truly understand God’s will?

Do you truly understand God’s will?
