Feelings and Impressions
Feelings and impressions
Are no safe guide.
God’s word will lead you
In His word you must abide.
Satan works through feelings
And many false impressions,
But God teaches us through His word;
Christ demonstrated these renditions.
Jesus met Satan
With the words, “It is Written.”
When demanded a sign of His divinity
By God’s word Satan was smitten.
The Bible tells us
The Word of God is our guide.
Upon the guidance of man
Faith cannot be relied.
Feelings are not dependable;
Impressions too can be false.
It’s the Word of God written
That’s needed for our heart’s pulse.
It’s greater than miracles
For they can come from the foe.
He’s the world’s ‘great deceiver’,
So to God’s Word you must go.
God’s word is where you’ll find
All the answers you need.
Forget your feelings and impressions;
It’s God’s Word you must heed.
His Spirit will show you
What He wants you to learn.
It’s for the Word of God—
Your heart needs to yearn.
