"The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever" (Psalm 12:6,7). "My son, if thou wilt receive My words... yea, if thou criest after knowledge... if thou seekest her as silver and searchest for her as for hid treasures, then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God" (Proverbs 2:1-5).
Some things aren't worth the time
We take to search them out.
Sometimes mountains that we climb
May only lead to doubt.
How different is the great reward
We find as hidden treasures
In words inspired by the Lord,
Surpassing earthly pleasures!
The words which God Himself inspired,
He faithfully preserves.
Nothing in this world desired,
Comparison deserves!
The vain pursuits now seem absurd
That waste our precious time,
When we may search God's precious Word,
Eternally sublime!
