YOUR WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE=O LORD

 










YOUR WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE-

O LORD


There is a POPULAR Christian song

That contains the line-

“YOUR WORDS are spirit and life-

O Lord”


And I couldn't agree more

WORDS to LIVE BY


Many of us are looking

For a hint or a sign

That OUR GOD is alive today


ALL we really have to do

Is OPEN our bible-and read

THE WORD


The words in psalms-the words of proverbs-

And particularly the lines where-

Jesus is speaking


Your words are SPIRIT & LIFE-

O Lord

And music to my ears-and

Reach down and touch my very soul


God is ALIVE-in BOTH you and me

His very words-GIVE US LIFE


“He rises up the lowly

From the dust


From the dunghill

He lifts up the poor


To seat them

With princes

With the princes

Of his own people”                                                                              Psalm 113:7-8


Your very words-O Lord-

Inspire us

They give us HOPE

They give us SPIRIT


Your words are

WORDS to live by


“To live for my family-

friends-and ALL PEOPLE everywhere”                                                      


EVERY DAY-when I read

The GOOD BOOK

I RENEW my promise

I renew my covenant

With you Lord


YOUR WORDS are spirit and life

O Lord


“CREATE in me

A PURE heart-O God


And RENEW a steadfast spirit

Within me”                                                                                                       Psalm 51:10


“BLESSED are the poor

In spirit

For theirs is

The kingdom of heaven”                                                                            Matthew 5:3 


“God is spirit

And his worshipers 

MUST worship

In the SPIRIT

And in truth”                                                                                             John 4:24


Your words are spirit

Your words are life

And when we LIVE

In them


We live FOREVER in you

For your words LAST forever


“Heaven and earth 

Will pass away

But my words-

Will NEVER pass away”                                                            Matthew24:35


“Simon Peter answered him,

'Lord-to whom

Shall we go


You have the words 

Of ETERNAL LIFE'”                                                                       John 6:68


So we need no sign

From you Lord


For we KNOW

NO SIGNS will be given

To us-

EXCEPT the sign of Jonah


We know you are with us

We know

You are the Word Made FLESH


And we know

We will LIVE FOREVER in you


For your words 

ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE-O LORD


And the SPIRIT will live forever-

We look forward to living

FOREVER IN YOU
