-your Word-

As I look into Your Word
Your presence draws me nearer.
As I search out what I’ve heard
Your Truths become more clearer.

As I see You through Your Word
I see who You are to me.
As I trust in what I’ve heard
I know who I’m called to be.

As I live inside Your Word
Your Will becomes my desire.
As I walk out what I’ve heard
You’ll fill me with Your Fire.

-and so I know that-

As we learn to love Him so,
we to His Image conform.
As we do our fruit will grow
causing lives to be reborn.
