Chorus:
Your word is a lamp to my feet
Your word is a light to my path
Your word is a lamp to my feet
Your word is a light to my path
Verse 1:
I spent a century wondering what my status with the Father was
Feeling the pressure coming on to me like the Nautilus
Honestly, it was obvious
Probably like a lot of us
I thought my own piety should be where I find my confidence
I felt I could never escape my terrified conscience
Buried alive, under the weight of all my wrong steps
I thought if I could only muster up my trust then, I would live right
But no, it never worked
And then I learned it's the w/ord that gives faith
Delivering the certainty of grace
The gospel is the power of salvation
The Father sends it out to every nation
Now that I'm right with God, I can serve my neighbor with joy
Give a sacrificial love like I've never labored before
All because I'm now at peace when I trust in works of Him
Wanna be looking to the promise and never searching within because...
Chorus:
Your word is a lamp to my feet
Your word is a light to my path
Your word is a lamp to my feet
Your word is a light to my path
Verse 2:
I'm getting entangled with all these biblical languages and the mysteries contained in 'em
Participles, interpretive, poetry, prose, and narrative, all of this is our heritage!
All preserved by the Spirit to elicit faith in us
It's the doctrine we learn from the apostles
By the water and word, the Son has washed us
For the remission of sins, and what we’re given is His
Forgiveness, giving assurance of what God's done
Faith, it cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God
So come be forgiven by Him with no uncertain odds
Never could I observe the law
I can try, but can't serve cost
I know that I would certainly fall
Even my top is worse than God's ("worst")
The law and the gospel take and give
Kill and resurrect, break and mend
Through it, He makes me hate my sin
Bring out the blameless saint within
Though I can barely take it in, seeing my state
But Father, by your word you enlighten us, even disciple and keep on enlivening with no end!
Chorus:
Your word is a lamp to my feet
Your word is a light to my path
Your word is a lamp to my feet
Your word is a light to my path
