More Than Words

Hope is just a page away
Within your living word
My eyes absorb your counsel
In each line, your voice is heard

The breath of life to every soul
I hold in earthly hand
I learn of prophets and of kings
And of Salvation’s plan

Written by the hand of God
My source of daily bread
Illustrated by God’s son
When for my sins, He bled

Let every word leap from the page
Into my heart of clay
That I may hide each one within
And find you, day by day

Whoa, this is masterful. I loved the flow of it right to the end. God's gifts flow right through you and onto the page. It took a lot of years of happiness and struggles to gain the knowledge you are pulling from. God knew what he was putting you through, in your daily challenges. Your gifts are for this time and for this time only, so use them as much as possible. Your work is beautifully stunning...Raul
