Purely Preserved

"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.... Thy Word is very pure: therefore Thy servant loveth it. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget Thy precepts" (Psalm 12:6,7, 119:140,141). "Every Word of God is pure: He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar" (Proverbs 30:5,6).

It matters not if I'm despised,
For I am just the messenger:
The Gospel is uncompromised,
For every Word of God is pure.

As silver seven times is tried
In the refiner's fire,
The Word of God is purified
And kept by His desire.

Thus we see God's miracle
Through every generation:
His Word remains impeccable
By promised preservation.

And so we can be very sure,
In every last detail,
The Word of God shall still endure;
His promise shall not fail.

Lord, thank You for Your Word we love,
Preserved for us today,
As settled as Your throne above
Which shall not pass away.
