Word of My God

My soul is in mourning,
My heart cries out, too;
I just can't understand,
Why so many refuse You.

Don't they want to know a Savior?
You've given us a precious gift;
Reading the inspired Word,
Will give one such a lift.

Yes, at first it's hard to read,
But it grows as you go;
The God of Abraham and Jacob,
The Savior, too, you get to know.

The Word really is a guide,
To help us live this life;
It keeps us on the straight and narrow,
While avoiding unnecessary strife

I love the Word of my God,
It tells me of His love and care;
And all I really want in life,
Is with you this love to share.
