Chorus 1
He does not compel us to go (no no)
He does not compel us to go
He does not compel us to go
'Gainst our will
But He just makes us willing to go
Verse 1
When the Canaanites hardened
Their hearts against God
And grieved Him because of their sin
God sent along hornets to bring them to time
And to help His own people to win
The hornets persuaded them that it was best
To go quickley and not to go slow
God did not compel them to go
'Gainst their will
But He just made them willing to go
Verse 2
If a nest of live hornets
Were brought to this room
And the creatures allowed to go free
You would not need urging
To make yourself scarce
You'd want to get out don't you see
They would not lay hold
And by force of their strength
Throw you out of the window oh no
They would compel you
To 'gainst your will
But they'd just make you willing to go
Verse 3
When Jonah was sent
To the work of the Lord
The outlook was not very bright
He never had done such
A hard thing before
He never had done
Such a hard thing before
So He backed and ran off from the fight
But God sent a big fish to swallow Him up
The story I'm sure you all know
He did not compel Him to go 'gainst His will
But He just made Him willing to go
Verse 4
When Moses was sent to lead Israel out
To canaan's rich fruit bearing land
Resisting His Spirit they worshipped a calf
And refused to obey God's command
God did not compel them to go to the land
Which with wine milk and honey did flow
But fed them on manna for forty long years
Till He got them all ready to go
Verse 5
When Balaam was sent to the moabite King
And wanted things run His own way
His mule ever faithful
Spoke at the right time
Made Him willing God's voice to obey
God can use any man
Since He used Balaam's mule
For He is Almighty you know
He does not compel us
To go 'gainst our will
But He just makes us willing to go
