Don't you know it's not enough to sit around
Don't you know the time has come to get it on
Don't you know the benefits you will receive my friend
In the long run will depend on what you give
Don't you know how patient God has been
Don't you know He's waiting for our love to grow
Don't you know He wants for you to come into His rest
And to pass each little test and be a man
Don't you know His heart is waiting
Patiently anticipating
The day when you'll begin to become sure
Don't you know He wants His small ones
To become His strong and tall ones
God wants all His children to mature
And start to live the kind of lives which give Him pleasure
He desires to give us blessings without measure
But we'll never find the fullness of the treasure no, no, no
Less we take our cross and bear it like a man
Don't you know He's disappointed
When you just become acquainted
Then you turn your back and go your way
