I Will Not Compromise

about

When I wrote this song someone was trying to get me to do something I knew in my heart wasn’t right. Zig Ziglar wrote, when he was struggling with a decision on something that was a grey area in his Christian walk. He struggled with whether it was biblically permissible or not. He asked people he respected about it and the answer he got was…ask yourself the question, “is what I’m doing or about to do Glorifying the Lord? If the answer is no, don’t do it! It’s pretty simple, but the world makes it hard! In your life do not compromise when there is a grey area. It’s a hard principle to follow, but it’s a good one!

lyrics

Verse 1
Well you can take what this world is giving
You can live the kind of life they say you should be living
I’ll stand on the word of God it comforts me
If it’s not glorifying the Lord. It’s something that I will ignore
I’m sold out trusting in Him I’ve been set free

Chorus
Well I will not compromise
Say I will not compromise
Sing I will not compromise
Lord I will not compromise

Verse 2
You say life’s not so bad
You say it’s the best that you’ve ever had
The Lord’s got something better waiting for you
He went to prepare us a place
It doesn’t matter what we face
This is not my home I’m Glory bound won’t you come to

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
I will
Say I will
Sing I will
Lord I will

Repeat Chorus

On March 10, 1990 He saved my soul. After six years of college and beginning a new career as an accountant, I began writing songs.
