SCRIPTURES

         "SCRIPTURES"


Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path.
I keep my solemn promise,
To obey your commandments.


People are no more enduring than grass.
Grass withers and flowers fade,
But the Word of God endures forever.


Your Word, O Lord, will last forever,
It is eternal in heaven.
If your law is not the source of our joy,
We will die from our sufferings.


We will never neglect your commandments.
Because by them you have kept us alive.
We will meditate on your law. 


The Word of God is alive and active,
Sharper than two-edged sword.
It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet,
To where joints and marrow come together. 


Everything written in the Scriptures,
Was written to teach us,
In order that we might have hope,
Through the patience and encouragement,
Which the Scriptures give us.
