IT'S A TREASURE WITHOUT MEASURE
JUST TO HAVE YOUR HOLY WORD.
IT'S THE SOURCE OF SUCH GREAT PLEASURE
BE IT READ OR BE IT HEARD.

HELP US LORD TO NOT NEGLECT IT
SUCH AN EASY THING TO DO.
GIVE US WISDOM NOW TO COMMIT
TIME, SO WE YOUR WORD PURSUE.

II
BUSY, BUSY LIFE IS SO FULL
THERE'S NO END OF CHOICE TO MAKE.
OUR HEARTS AND MINDS OFTEN GET DULL
AND YOUR HOLY WORD FORSAKE.

HELP US SEE THE FOLLY WE CHOOSE
WHEN WE SEEK TO GO ALONE.
WE CAN'T WIN BUT ALWAYS WILL LOSE
IF WE DON'T YOUR WORD ENTHRONE.

III
LIVING, LIVING IS THE BIBLE
GIVING FOOD TO FEED THE SOUL.
NO WHERE ON EARTH IS A RIVAL
THAT CAN HEAL AND MAKE US WHOLE.

LASTING, LASTING IT'S FOREVER
FOR ALL TIME AND HEAVEN TOO.
BETTER TRAINING YOU'LL FIND NEVER
IF YOU WANT GOD'S BEST FOR YOU.

IV
THANK YOU FOR THE REVELATION
THAT'S GIVES LIGHT FOR EACH NEW DAY.
HELP US BE A DEMONSTRATION
OF IT'S POW'R WHEN WE OBEY.

MAY YOUR WORD BE OUR DAILY SUN
GIVING LIFE AND BEAUTY TOO.
HELP US SEE WE ARE NEVER DONE
GROWTH IN YOU IS NEVER THROUGH.
