Lessons for the Learning
Have you in all your hurry ever stopped to recognize
The glory and the wonder that awaits the student's eyes
When studied in the scriptures with intensity and prayer
That God with endless mystery in love has written there
Have you explored the universe God's placed within His Word
And listened for that still small voice that's waiting to be heard
That is His Holy Spirit our great Comforter and Guide
Who holds the keys to glory that's just sitting there inside
Those pages writ with history from Eden to the end
Of when the early Christians taught us how we can depend
On all the Law and prophesies that God through love does share
As evidence He is the One true God Who's always there
And also all the lessons from the voices of the past
Those lessons for eternity Christ said are sure to last
As not one jot or tittle will be moved 'til His return
When even more will be revealed that we have yet to learn
Of how He taught and led us through those times in history
When all was pain and darkness that it seemed that we could see
While light was there for breaking as the vision of our soul
If in His Word we'd simply look that He might make us whole
And share with us His vision that sees far beyond the grave
That sees in us His Kingdom that He came in love to save
When in a simple manger clothed in plain humility
There lay the King of glory hiding both His majesty
And power to preserve us from the evil that would come
Upon Him as our Saviour Who would bear the total sum
Of every sin of passion every sin of our defeat
To make us one forever one with Him when once we meet
Beneath His cross as broken where His grace can make us whole
Each morning as we make with Him that time to fill our soul
With joy and peace and comfort and the guidance for each day
That only comes to those who watch and listen as they pray
That God will make us patient as we take that time with Him
And help us cherish every word to see the gold in them
With all the light and luster that awaits the ones who care
To cherish every lesson He is holding for us there
