"The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.... I longed for Thy commandments" (Psalm 119:130,131). "The poor and deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes" (Proverbs 29:13).
The entrance of God's Word gives light
To all those who will long
To know the truth, to do what's right,
And turn from what is wrong.
The light of God will clearly show
The truth of our condition,
And thereby sinners come to know
Their fitness for perdition.
God's Word will thus illuminate
The dark, deceitful way,
And show the debt of sin so great
That sinners can't repay.
How sweet then is the revelation
The Word of God imparts:
That God extends His great salvation
To poor, deceitful hearts!
O Lord, we did not realize
How much we did not see
Until You opened then our eyes
To view our poverty.
We thank You, Lord, for light that shined
When Your words entered in
To open eyes which once were blind
And save us from our sin!
