I don’t know what I should do with my life
I don’t know if I should mar-ry me a wife
Or be single
I opened up my Bible and listened real hard
I listened and ah listened ‘til I grew real tahred
An’ I don’t know
(chorus:)
I listened and I read
But all it ever said
Was “boy, whatever you’re doin’ with your life
Do it to the Lord and you can do it right.”
Seems scripture alone can’t come alongside
Seems scripture just don’t help me decide
What I should be
(chorus:)
I listened and I read
But all it ever said
Was “boy, whatever you’re doin’ with your life
Do it to the Lord and you can do it right.”
(2nd chorus:)
I guess I need a friend
Who can tell me more than
Just “boy, whatever you’re doin’ with your life
Do it to the Lord and you can do it right.”
Who can ah ask tuh show me the right way
Who but the Spirit o’ God can show me today
And say more than
Just “boy, whatever you’re doin’ with your life
Do it to the Lord and you can do it right.”

It sounds like a song for Christians in general. That is like the most pondered thing among Christians it seems like; "what should I do?"
The reason that I called it "Song for the Quakers" was because, unlike most protestant or (Roman) Catholic Christian groups, the Quakers believe that the Spirit of God is personally present to actively teach and lead us as Christians, to guide us in every decision we need to make in our lives, and particularly in things that are so individual to each of us that scripture just doesn't address in that much detail.
Yeah, I got that, it just seems like all Christians kinda believe the same thing on that, not just specifically the quakers. Of course I haven't studied each sect of Christianity in depth enough to say that for sure, it just seems like every youth confrense I ever go to for any denomination always has something on that and how you just need to follow the Spirits calling, idk, maybe quakers go about it differently or something but it seems like that is basically what all Christian groups believe on that....at least to my "uneducated" mind.
