The Law of God

The Law of God

The law of God gives safety
With truth that’s clear and strong,
It guards the path of duty
And keeps the soul from wrong.

The law of God gives freedom
From doubt and guilt and shame,
It lights the path of blessing
With joy and mercy’s flame.

The law of God gives riches
That do not fade or rust,
It gilds the path of praises
For those who seek and trust.

The law of God gives shelter,
A shield from fear and fraud,
It shows the path of progress
And how to please my God.

The law of God gives wisdom,
It teaches me what’s right,
And paves the path of honor
With courage and delight.

The law of God is perfect
Without mistake or flaw –
Lord, help me live each moment
According to Your law.

Christina Joy Hommes
