What Doth the Lord Require?

Verse 1

Oh people of the risen King,

You’ve been bought with holy blood,

Not by might or works or striving,

But through Jesus' wondrous love.

Now He calls you, not to burden,

But to walk in joy and awe—

To revere Him, love and serve Him,

And to live within His written law.

Chorus

What does the Lord require of us,

But to walk in all His ways?

To love Him with our heart and soul,

And give Him all our days.

The God of grace, so just and true,

Has drawn us by His Spirit's fire—

Now church arise, O heart respond:

What doth the Lord require?

Verse 2

Not just Israel long before us,

But the body now redeemed—

We are called to live in reverence,

Bearing fruit from gospel seed.

Mercy flows where love has found us,

Justice shines through Spirit flame—

So we serve with joyful duty,

Lifting high our Savior’s name.

Chorus

What does the Lord require of us,

But to walk in all His ways?

To love Him with our heart and soul,

And give Him all our days.

The God of grace, so just and true,

Has drawn us by His Spirit's fire—

Now church arise, O heart respond:

What doth the Lord require?

Bridge

He is faithful, He is holy,

He is good in all He gives.

He’s the breath that moves within us,

In His presence we now live.

Not by fear but by devotion,

We surrender and believe—

And we answer with obedience,

For His mercy we receive.

Chorus

What does the Lord require of us,

But to walk in all His ways?

To love Him with our heart and soul,

And give Him all our days.

With grace that leads and truth that burns,

He lifts our spirits higher—

So here we stand, both church and soul:

What doth the Lord require?
