This Precious Book

Lord, thank You for this precious Book
That speaks to me Your love,
That set me in the way of life
And guides my steps above.

Dear Spirit, give me eyes to see
My Savior in each word,
And help me know how I should live
The things I’ve read and heard.

Please shape my plans and my desires,
Transform my heart and mind;
Help me believe what You have said
And every promise kind.

O, burn its truth within my heart
To shape both thought and deed,
That I might be a living book
For those around to read.

Lord, thank You for this precious Book
That speaks to me Your grace;
Each day I’ll seek and love its truth
Until I see Your face.
