Keep the Key

"Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth: unite my heart to fear Thy name" (Psalm 86:11). "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7). "To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?... By His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:1,5). "Woe unto you, lawyers! For ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered" (Luke 11:52).

Keep the key that will unlock
The door of knowledge here
And teaches us the way to walk:
It is God's holy fear.

Do not make the sad mistake
That others made before,
Of letting foolish talkers take
This key to wisdom's door.

The arm of Christ that God reveals
Is surely plain to see,
To those He saves, to those He heals,
To those who hold this key.

Unite our hearts to fear Your name,
O Lord, as we explore
The treasures of the Christ who came
To open heaven's door.
