Everyday you should be in The Word, this friend, I have often heard. <br />I need God to guide me every day, to listen to what He has to say. <br />For The Lord has a path set for me, to lead me safely into Eternity. <br />His Word is a light on my path, to guide me away from pending wrath. <br />But when I stray from His light, I walk from the day into the night. <br />I begin to kick against the goads, and wander down forbidden roads. <br /> <br />His Word is my very life to me, and it guides me when I can not see. <br />For The Word of God in my life, guards me from much pain and strife. <br />I must hide it in my heart, for Christ is with me each waking start. <br />And He goes with me throughout the day guiding every word I say. <br />And whenever I forget to pray, my heart deep inside begins to stray. <br />Then I forget The Word He instilled and act against my Father’s will. <br /> <br />His Word can not be ignored, for it’s sharper than a two edged sword. <br />And it cuts deep into the heart of man, and shows me just what I am. <br />I’m a sinner saved by God’s Grace, and daily I need to seek His face. <br />Prayer is how my heart may plea but The Word is how God speaks to me. <br />When through prayer I speak to Him, His Word helps me deal with sin. <br />With The Word dwelling within, the daily battles Christ helps me win. <br /> <br />His Word is an essential part in my life and how God cleanses my heart. <br />When I allow The Word to dwell in me, The Spirit truly sets me free. <br />Christ sets me free from my will so that in my life His is fulfilled. <br />And that, according to God’s Word, is to preach until all have heard. <br />That for me He paid the price, and on that cross I died with Christ. <br />And for me to serve Jesus Christ, my life must be a living sacrifice. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©07/2004)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-in-the-word/
