It was good for me to be afflicted That I might learn Your decrees, Lord And all of those years in the desert Kept me thirsting for Your word on my knees If Your law had not been my delight I would have perished in the fight And I will never forget Your wisdom For by it You renewed my life And You save me, with every word And You show me what I am worth to You Age to age, Your truth remains I meditate on it day and night Your word is light, it is life Your word is living and active Penetrating every part Dividing of soul and spirit And judging the intention of the heart And great peace have those who love it In freedom will they walk about And nothing can make them stumble Especially when it's spoken out loud And You save me, with every word And You show me what I am worth to You Age to age, Your truth remains I meditate on it day and night Your word is light, it is life (repeat) I have put my hope in Your word It sustains me and I will live on I have put my hope in Your word You sustain me and I will live on You save me, with every word And You show me what I am worth to You Age to age, Your truth remains And I'm changed Your word is light, it is life Your word is light, it is my life You save me (repeat)
