WHO WILL YOU LISTEN TO
(Tune: Hymn 1162)

1. With Rehoboam there is
A lesson that's crucial to learn.
In life, we all make decisions –
To whose council are you going to turn?
(Chorus)
Who will you listen to? Who will you listen to?
This one question is so vital for you.
From older ones don't turn away,
Listen to what they say –
Their wisdom will be a help to you.

2. When we are young there's a "pressure"
To listen to what our friends say.
Yet, deep within, in our conscience,
Is a feeling that says,"That's the wrong way."
(Chorus)
Who will you listen to? Who will you listen to?
This one question is so vital for you.
From conscience don't turn away,
Listen to what it says –
That feeling will be a help to you.

3. As we get older, we find out
Our parents are most often right.
Now is the time to be faithful
To be those who would seek out their insight.
(Chorus)
Who will you listen to? Who will you listen to?
This one question is so vital for you.
From parents don't turn away,
Listen to what they say –
They've "been there," and they will stand with you.

4. As we grow up, God is with us.
The Bible, His Word, shows the way.
When you must make your decisions,
Do be faithful to seek out what it says.
(Chorus)
Who will you listen to? Who will you listen to?
Elders, conscience, parents, Bible too.
From there never turn away,
Listen to what they say –
God gave them to you for your own good.
