God's Word Is the Final Authority

There is something held sacred
 by our government’ institution.
This is what we call;
 “The United States Constitution…”

It’s a document that many
 look  to,  as “a moral guide.”
This is causing wrong vs. right…
  A “great divide…”

This is a piece of paper,
 signed by several men…
This is not where the final 
authority begins!

God’s word is the final authority.
 It needs to rule our minds!
Anything less is like 
“walking on land mines…”

The ten commandments which
 were written so long ago…
Are still relevant…  And were written
 to protect your soul!

The words written in God’s book
 are HIS principles for living!
These divine and pure words for us…
  Is what he is giving!

There’s no Supreme Court sitting
 next to God’s throne!
His decisions are FINAL!  And are his alone!

Won’t you live according 
HIS words today?
And listen to HIS words… 
 Not what man has to say!

His word can save you and
 make your life complete…
And shall bring rest
 to your weary feet…

It will protect and shield you
 from God’s holy wrath.
And is a light and a lamp 
unto our path…
