An epic, sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mark R. Fotheringham. This hymn forms a reverent and poetic meditation on the guidance, protection, and transformative power of Jesus Christ. Drawing on rich metaphors—the compass, the shepherd, and the artist—the verses illustrate the Savior's role as a steady guide through life’s storms, a vigilant protector of His flock, and a divine craftsman shaping souls into masterpieces. Each stanza builds upon the theme of divine care and purpose, culminating in the repeated question, “Shall we not obey?”—a gentle but powerful invitation to trust, follow, and yield to Christ’s loving will. The imagery is both comforting and inspiring, reminding the listener of the Savior’s unwavering presence and the beauty of surrendering to His divine plan. Written to the glory of God.

Text:
Just as a compass points the way,
Our Savior is our guide.
When storm and turmoil threaten us,
He is ever at our side.
Our protector and our friend,
He showed us how to pray.
Holding heaven's pow'r at His command,
Shall we not obey?

Wandering in the wilderness,
The shepherd calls His sheep.
Gathering each to bring us home
To the safety of His keep.
Watching o'er us through the night,
He keeps the wolves at bay.
We awake to feed in pastures fair.
Shall we not obey?

Eye of the artist beauty sees
Before the work begins.
Polished and pure His vision stands
Without stains or earthly sins.
Christ has suffered for His art,
His hand can form this clay.
He will mold it to a masterpiece.
Shall we not obey?
