As I Search the Holy Scriptures
As I Search the Holy Scriptures
1. As I search the holy scriptures,Loving Father of mankind,May my heart be blessed with wisdom,And may knowledge fill my mind.
2. As I search the holy scriptures,Touch my spirit, Lord, I pray.May life’s myst’ries be unfoldedAs I study day by day.
3. As I search the holy scriptures,May thy mercy be revealed.Soothe my troubled heart and spirit;May my unseen wounds be healed.
4. As I search the holy scriptures,Help me ponder and obey.In thy word is life eternal;May thy light show me the way.
