Heaven's Storehouse
How can the scriptures save us if we know not what they say
If in our rush for living we neglect them day by day
Be for our inspiration that the Lord would like to give
If we neglect the principles upon which we should live
That lie so fully visible within God's Holy Word
That if we never open it cannot be fully heard
Just lying like a treasure that we never look to see
Upon the shelf beside us as we live in poverty
How can we see most clearly the description there to find
That wipes away the dark of night that keeps God's people blind
Of what it means to truly be an instrument of His
Ordained for just one purpose for an awesome time like this
The time when all the world is soon to see God's Word fulfilled
When tragedies abundant will see one third of life killed
As all will wake to judgement from the lethargy they're in
To realize their cup is full of past unpardoned sins
Unpardoned not because forgiveness was not always there
But because they neglected time to meet with God in prayer
Absorbing truths discovered while they dug deep in His Word
The truths that lit the darkness of traditions they had heard
Traditions given credence that directly had opposed
The simple truths of scripture the elect of God had chose
Because they simply were the Truth that they could clearly see
That pointed to the Father and His plan of purity
That He had placed upon them every morning while in prayer
Communing through His scriptures as they always found Him there
With all the grace they needed to confront another day
To be a light for others He was drawing to the Way
And also as a statement in those opportunities
To show the world around them that the God Who always sees
Provides His intercession when He sees the time is right
To share the perfect evidence of His redeeming Light
So friend be not neglectful of the honor you've been given
But spend each waking moment contemplating how in heaven
All that live there are watching to see if your life is driven
To draw from heaven's storehouse in the scriptures you've been given
Psalm 119:97-106; James 1:13-27
