Why Should I

Why should I
 
Why should I live my life according to man's rule
 
why should I go on living this lie,
 
why should I?
 
Even if I say to you,
 
do not worry about your life
 
you can simply say
 
Why should I
 
The soul of Jonathan
 
was knit to the soul of David,
 
and Jonathan loved him as his own soul
 
so, how about you,
 
Do you want to be joined to the hip of man's rules
 
Let me hear you say it now.
 
Why should I
 
I know the thoughts
 
that I think, toward you say the Lord,
 
thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you
 
a future and a hope,
 
I can predict the doubtful folks in the street this coming November
 
shouting ... "why should we elected Mr. Obama
 
for another term...why should I
 
Oh, how I Iove your laws
 
how sweet are your words to my taste
 
sweeter than honey to my mouth
 
Have you taste the goodness of the Lord
 
some non believer would gladly say
 
Why should I
 
the Holy spirit will bring to your remembrance all
 
things that I said to you.
 
Why should I listen to you.
