The Living Word #2238

The Living Word In the quiet of our hearts, a call so clear, The gospel's truth, we hold it dear. A beacon bright, a guiding light, Our lives transformed, by day and night. The word of God, alive and keen, Sharper than swords, unseen but seen. It pierces deep, our soul and spirit, Dividing thoughts, with truth and merit. Nothing hidden from His sight, Exposed we stand, in His holy light. To Him, we must give full account, Our lives laid bare, every mount. Not just words, but deeds we show, The Father's will, we seek to know. "Lord, Lord," we cry, but action speaks, In daily acts, His truth we seek. Breath by breath, and heart by heart, In living word, we take our part. The gospel's power, not just proclaimed, But in our lives, His truth maintained. In every action, word, and deed, His living word, our guiding creed. Our doubts and fears, His truth cuts through, In every moment, His will pursue. Compass set by gospel's hand, Guiding through life's shifting sand. Living and active, day by day, In His word, we find our way. Purpose, meaning, fulfillment find, In gospel's truth, our hearts aligned. Top priority, diligently, In His light, we truly see. So let us live this holy call, Embrace His word, our all in all. For in His truth, we find our place, Guided by His boundless grace. -Steven G. Lee (July 6, 2024)
