“Ye shall not add unto the Word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you” (Deuteronomy 4:2). “My son, keep thy Father’s commandment…. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee” (Proverbs 6:20,22). “Then said Jesus… If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31,32).
The
Lord is faithful every day,
And
every word of God is true.
We
dare not take one word away,
Or
add a single word thereto.
There
is a clear contingency
In
God’s command that we have heard:
We’ll
know the truth that makes us free
If
we continue in His Word.
His
Word shall lead us when we walk;
His
Word shall keep us when we sleep;
When
we awake, His Word shall talk,
For
thus He guides and guards His sheep.
If
we’re His sheep, it shall be known
By
our continuance today.
HIS
faithfulness, and NOT our own,
Restores
us when we go astray.
O
Lord, we thank You that we rest
Upon
Your Word of truth and grace
By
which we’re saved, by which we’re blest,
By
which we know Your love’s embrace.
