A song of love for Scripture (the Bible)
Contemporary Christian
I'm August Mosco, Director Of Missions at the
Forest Glen Community Church in Chicago, Il. USA.
Story behind the song
This is an account of my personal relationship with the Word of God---the Bible.
The letters of the Apostles Peter,Paul and John
are letters of God's love to us.
Lyrics
When life becomes the Enemy
and tests my very best,
Devouring my will until
my sole request is rest,
It's then that I find
a moment of my time
to seek out some solitude,
I reach for Your Book
and take a good look.
I read my "love letters" from You,
(chorus)
Oh, I love Your "love letters" to me,
Sacred Scripture that's like poetry,
What a revelation
to know my salvation
is guaranteed,
In Your "love letters" to me,
Your parables and prophecies
all call me from each page,
Your proverbs and Your psalms echo
Your love from age to age,
For eternity
Your Word will always be
the beacon by which I steer,
Like Peter and Paul
I treasure them all,
Your precious "love letters" so dear,
(chorus)
(bridge)
More than just paper that has been penned,
More than a wealth of worldly wisdom,
The true authored thoughts from the Author of Life
compel me--propel me through my daily strife,
Oh, I love Your "love letters" to me,
Sacred Scripture that's like poetry,
What a revelation
to know my salvation
is guaranteed,
In Your "love letters" to me,
