Thy Word O LORD is Good Indeed

A poem by one of our young ladies, Miss Hollie Wilkinson.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It is our guide to life through grace.
It teaches us and lights our paths,
It shows the glory of Thy face.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It tells us how the world began.
That all that Thou didst make was good,
And in Thine image formedst Thou man.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It tells us how we lost our way.
How we rebelled against our God,
And so we sin unto this day.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It teaches us Thy sovereign law.
Which in our sin we daily break,
And our obedience still is poor.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed
It shows that there is hope for some
The prophets tell us of a man
The Mighty God, to earth would come

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It tells us of our Saviour’s birth.
A mediator to redeem,
His people throughout all the earth.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
That very Saviour came to die.
Endured the wrath of a just God,
To save poor sinners such as I.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows us death has lost its sting.
The grave no more has victory,
For Jesus rose and He is King.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It teaches us that we can claim.
No righteousness before our God,
And we must call on Jesus’ name.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows that Thou hast named Thine own.
Before the world began and they,
Are justified by faith alone.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows that when the world is done.
The Judge will bring our deeds to light,
As we all kneel before His throne.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows Thy justice will prevail.
The wicked will be turned away,
Their words will be to none avail.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
For those who’ve lived their lives for Thee.
Will welcomed be with open arms,
And will be Thine eternally.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
Its author well deserves our praise.
I pray, O Lord, for gifts of grace,
To love Thee and Thy Word always.
