I Heard His Word

God’s love to me, it did impart

His written Word, right from the start.

From infanthood I heard His Word.

From birth on up His Word I heard.

 

In Sunday School, Church service, too,

And Wednesday nights, His Word was due.

In Bible studies, backyard clubs,

No Bible lessons did we snub.

 

In Youth group and in Pioneer Girls,

And Youth for Christ, His Word made clear.

And Bible quizzing, memorized

His Word by letter, not deny.

 

In college, in I. V. C. F.,

We learned the Scriptures, they our Ref.

At Beulah Beach, our Christian camp,

We heard His Word, God’s Word, our Lamp.

 

Then on to teaching, teach His Word,

The gospel message, Word I heard.

For fifty years He’s had me teach

The truth He taught me, folks to reach.

 

All glory to my God and Lord,

For His hand on my life outpoured.

His grace to me goes way beyond

What I deserve. I stand in awe.
