More than Bread

You have exalted you word above your Name

And I hunger to read its every line

It speaks of the One eternal- from age to age the same

And I trust to search out its divine design.

TheÝ Law of the Lord is perfect reviving the soul

His statutes are trustworthy and make the simple wise

The precepts of the Lord give the heart joy untold.

His commands are radiant enlightening the eyes

I will seek you in your Word

I will tune my heart so it can be heard

And when Iíve read all that youíve said

I ëll have devoured much more than bread.

So reveal yourself in ways so clear

Iíll find itís wealth and hold it dear

Now Iíll hear the words youíd have me hear

All found in your word alone.

Ever fresh ever fragrant, ever sweet and new

Ever good and glorious your word tells me what is true.

Your word cuts like a two edged sword

Dividing between marrow and bone

Your word must never be ignored

Through it the Lord God is made known.

The fear of the Lord isÝ pure enduring forever

It is sweeter by far than any honeycomb

His ordinances are sure and righteous altogether.

More to be desired than all the gold you could own.
