Who Are You Trying to Please?    Who are you trying to please.doc 

by Sharon Rutherford

You say that you’re not happy here,
There’s too much pain and strife.
You get so tired of struggling,
You are ready for a new life.                  

You say you get so weary,
You want to lay down and rest.
Take up your cross and follow Me,
You’ve got to do your best.                    

You say: “What about my brother, Lord?
Do You see what he’s doing to me?
How many times must I forgive?!!”
I say: “Seven times seventy!”   
You say you’d like to run away.
Where do you think you’d go?
Wherever you went, you’d still be there,
You’re your problem, you know.   
CHORUS:
Well, who are you trying to please?
Who are you trying to please?
If you’d keep your eyes on Me,
Your striving would soon cease.   
Chorus   
Do you ever read My Word?
Do you believe what I say to you?
I told you if you followed Me,
The world would hate you too.   
It doesn’t matter what they say,
It doesn’t matter what they do.
It’s not them you’ll answer to-
They didn’t die for you.   
Why do you look at others,
And try to judge their hearts?
Judge not, lest you be judged-
In love, judgment departs.   
Who are you going to follow?
Where will you spend eternity?
I’ve reserved a place for you,
If you’ll overcome with Me.  
 Chorus Well, who are you trying to please?
Who are you trying to please?
If you’d keep your eyes on Me,
Your striving would soon cease.
Yes, If you’d keep your eyes on Me,
Your striving would soon cease.
