HE DOES NOT COMPEL US TO GO

When the Canaanites 
hardened their hearts against God
And grieved Him because
of their Sins
God sent along hornets to
bring them to terms
And help His own people to win
The hornets persuaded
them that it was best
To go quickly and not to go slow
God did not compel them to
go against their will
But He just made them willing to go.

CHORUS
God does not compel
us to go (anywhere)
He does not compel us
to go (oh no)
God does not compel us to
go against our will
But He just makes us willing to go.

If a nest of live hornets were
sent to this room
And the creatures
allowed to go free
You would not need urging
to make yourself scared
You would want to get out don’t you see
They would not hold or by force of
their strength
Throw you out of the window, Oh, no!
They would not compel you to go
against your will
They would just make you willing to go.

When Jonah was sent to
the work of the Lord
The outlook was not very bright
He did not need urging to make
himself scared
So he packed and ran off from the fight
But God sent a big fish to swallow him up
The story I’m sure you all know
God did not compel him to go
against his will,
But He just made him willing to go.
