“The unfolding of your words gives light”
(Psalm 119:130a)
Unfolded word, bearing light,
Held before us in darkest night.
Unseeing eyes can’t find their way,
Until unfolded they break like day.
Holy words, written down,
Breathed out to be our crown.
Spoken now for all to hear,
They offer life, destroy our fear.
Unfolded word, bearing light,
Held before us in darkest night.
Unseeing eyes can’t find their way,
Until unfolded they break like day.
Sacred words, spoken out,
Not with scream nor with shout.
Reasoned words, savory as salt,
Tell us how to escape our faults.
Unfolded word, bearing light,
Held before us in darkest night.
Unseeing eyes can’t find their way,
Until unfolded they break like day.
Wisdom’s words pointing up,
Cool water from His cup.
Prudent words to guide the way,
For all who come and stay.
Unfolded word, bearing light,
Held before us in darkest night.
Unseeing eyes won’t find their way,
Unless unfolded they break like day.
