Words
The words the words the words we read have much to comprehend
When we take time upon our knees and on the Lord depend
Those words of greatest wisdom that can lead to Paradise
And words of wise instruction from the greatest Sacrifice
Those words that seem to know us to the limit of our soul
That hold in them the promise that God's grace can make us whole
That speak to us His Presence when we're lost and all alone
Assuring us we'll never have to face life on our own
If we by faith will follow in the path His Spirit leads
Though often by the world untried and set about with weeds
This path that leads to heaven by a way that's yet unknown
By those who've always doubted God and all that He has shown
Is placed within His writings for the life of every soul
With heaven holding vigil that each soul might meet the goal
That flows through all the scriptures in the fashion of the words
That by their very counsel will direct us heavenwards
Because there is no limit to what God in us can do
When by His grace through living faith the place He brings us to
Is lighted by His glory through the many words we share
Adopted from the scriptures that reveal how much He cares
Those scriptures from beginning through the body to the end
Reveal the love of Jesus as Creator God and Friend
Who made us for a purpose that we still have yet to learn
But surely He will show us when to Him we fully turn
Not holding to the follies and the failings of our past
When we assumed assuming was the die that we should cast
To know the path that we should take to find our way alone
That left us filled with emptiness from all the things we'd sown
That did not seek His guidance Who had planned what we should be
Who from all time eternal made that plan for you and me
And placed it in His scriptures that if faithful we would find
Awaiting our acceptance with a holy open mind
That focused not on being what the world would have us be
But being heirs of heaven throughout all eternity
Who found their goal and purpose by the study of God's Word
Each morning in devotion when His Spirit could be heard
Proverbs 12:1-8; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalm 119:11, 105
