Thy Word

We received this poem from a brother incarcerated in Arkansas. Truly, our brother is making the most of his time alone with the Lord.

THY WORD

What will You show me today, Lord,

As I read your Holy Word?

The wonderful mysteries You've hidden,

Known only to those who have heard.

What will You reveal to my heart,

That will be only for me to see?

Will I see Your deep Secrets of Grace?

Will I see things that are to be?

How sad it makes me to think,

What I'd miss if I lost just one day,

Of reading and hearing Your Word.

Oh, what a great price I would pay.

So, help me, Dear Lord, to be quiet

And study Your Word more and more.

Let me patiently wait for Your Voice,

As you feed me from Your vast Store.

I'll listen and say only what you say.

I never will add or subtract,

For Your Holy Word is Perfection,

And everything in it, Exact.

Your Prisoner
