God's word is like a field, vast and fertile
hidden treasures beneath
a wise farmer's precious possession
precious beyond all rubies
silver and gold is considered dross
God's word is the wise person's precious possession.
Tried in a furnace of fire, purified seven times
defining the time of our very existence
The reality of our past, present and future
And when time passes and we are no more
that's God's word come to pass.
This word when loved and cherished
this word fills and transform
this word when read and practiced
this word enlightens and encourages
this word like a judge convicts and acquits
this word the excellent way reveals.
This word, not just another story
Its your life, family and ministry
your land food and water
Your work manual, first aid kit and medicine
all that you see and hear and perceive
all has its place knit in God's eternal abiding word
