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 unfolded As 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.
