"Do Not Forget Your God"
TEXT: Mark Ryman (©2004) based on Luke 6:20-31. More hymns at edoxy.com.
TUNE: Festal Song," by William H. Walter (1894).

Do not forget your God
as you live out your days.
You are poor as the poorest soul
when you deny God praise.

Do not forget your God
when you think riches best,
for even when you think you’re poor
you’ll find that you are blessed.

Do not forget your God
when you have lost your friends.
For God above came low to you—
the means of all our ends.

Do not forget your God
when all speak well of you.
You don’t deserve a blessed thing;
(if only people knew!)

Do not forget your God,
who gave his life away.
You too must learn to act like Christ
or risk going astray.
