“ BRING THE BOOK”

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 ESV

Dear Heavenly Father,

Let this be my heart’s only desire
To love your precious Word above all
For you saved me from sin’s awful mire
Defeating the deadly curse of the fall

Please fill me with your righteousness
I come before you on bended knee
Claiming your promises with all reverence
Help me be all that you want me to be

Grant me wisdom to know your Word
Let my sanctification be complete
For I live in awe of you, O’ Lord!
Longing for the day to worship at your feet

I beg your forgiveness for every sinful thing
Convicted by the truth of your living Word
Nothing but faith alone I bring
Hewed by the grace of your two-edged sword

I will praise you always for endless mercies
For your imminent return I constantly look
Your Word ever accomplishes your purposes
Until that glorious day, I exclaim “bring The Book!”

Amen, Amen!

“And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God, and all the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.” Nehemiah 8:5-6 ESV
