Holy is your Word O Lord ( loosely based on psalm 119 )

 

Holy is your Word O Lord

 

 

Holy is your Word O Lord

And in it I delight.

I read and understand it

Your precepts I recite.

 

They will keep me near you

Lift me up when I feel down.

That I may sing your praises

All other music  drown.

 

In righteousness you lead me

Through pathways yet unknown

And on my journey guide me

Till I come before your throne.

 

Like a lamp to guide my feet

My pathways you will light,

If  I Your Word obey it,

Then faith will turn to sight.

 

 

 

 

But if I should neglect your Word

And wander from the Way

 I will not know your presence

Or  your blessing every day.

 

Lord please saturate my life,

My heart , my mind, my will,

And by your gracious Spirit

My whole being fill.

 

And when I reach the river

With fears I cannot hide

Your words will be my stepping stones

To reach the other side.

 

Inside the pages of your book

There is a boundless treasure

And promises so rich, so   sure

Of life beyond all measure.

 

 

 

 

It’s  not by works that I am  saved

Or running hard or faster,

But by your freely given grace

And following my Master!

 

When I keep your word you promise

That  you’ll show yourself to me

And that I will be with  you

For all eternity.

 

Eye has not seen or ear has heard

What then you will reveal,

But I will one day wear a crown

That moth or rust can’t steal.
