“There it was, just lying there
Crinkled on the ground
From what I read I’d like to share
The treasures then I found
Even before the page was turned
I felt inside so strange
I’d read that You were so concerned
You died; for me to change
I went to church I bought the book
I read Your word each day
Just like a fish I took the hook
Through faith, I knew I’d stay
Your word is life, my daily bread
And through it, all was made
Without it, man would soon be dead
All else would surely fade
It’s now the lamp unto my feet
Your plan for me on high
My bread of life, my daily meat
It’s water when I’m dry
Your word will never void return
Although it may sound strange
It tastes so sweet, yet bellies burn
When hearts begin to change
It came to me, a dying fool!
It brought with wisdom hope!
Now deep inside, You’ve come to rule
And teach this child to cope
It’s through a tract, the truth I’ve found
Through grace, I’m born anew
In faith I seek the higher ground
And endless life with You…
