Searching the Sublime

"The counsel of the LORD, that shall stand" (Proverbs 19:21). "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death into life.... Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me" (John 5:24,39).

Many things may call for time
That will expend our energy;
Some are worthless, some sublime,
Affecting all eternity!

Search the Scriptures everyday
Which testify of Christ our Lord!
In this world gone astray,
We need the counsel they afford!

Here within the Scripture's page,
Eternal truths from God are heard!
His counsel stands from age to age
To bless those who obey His Word.

Thank You, Lord, that You have spoken:
In Scripture we have heard Your voice!
Sublime, supreme, and never broken,
We search its treasure and rejoice!
