Reading the Bible

Reading the Bible—

I love the Word of God!

Reading the Bible—

I love the Word of God!

Every verse reveals Yourself to me

Every line conveys reality.

When I pray the words that You breathed out

You become so real to me.

As I read

I pray

as I pray

I read

Mingling both as one spontaneously.

You respond within with words so sweet

I repeat these words to Thee.

I’m a newborn babe—it’s the milk I need

Not the knowledge of the dead teaching.

When I eat Your word

it becomes to me

My heart’s joy and rejoicing.

Sweeter than honey

precious more than gold;

It will not be void

but as the rain and snow

It will do Your will—bear the life divine

Bearing fruit a hundred-fold.

When my heart is like a rock so cold

It’s Your word so strong that hammers stone

That the grain of life may come to me

And supply me inwardly.

It’s my food

my drink

and my life supply;

I love to eat it every day and night.

I just turn and open up to Him

And the rivers flow right in.
