Your Word Is Life to Me....

In daily study I am in Daniel 9, Beth Moore shared some amazing words that were written by Travis Cottrell in regards to the life that Daniel lived for God. In the 9th chapter God's Word became life to Daniel more vividly than ever before. My heart is overwhelmed in praise to God for the life He allows me to live and it makes me stop and think....do I allow His Word to be my life?....what do my words, my actions say about Him, all in all, how do I live for Him? Do I write a love letter to Him daily with my life? So, as part of my quiet time today all I could do was say these words over in over in praise to His Holy Name. I pray that these words will bless your heart as much as it does mine and even more so your quiet time with the Ancient of Days. He desires us more than you could ever imagine.

"Your Word Is Life to Me"

I am a stranger in this place;
This world is not my home.
I want more than it can give.
I am a desert needing rain;
I'm thirsty for Your voice.
The very reason that I live -
You are the Word, my one desire,
An all consuming Holy fire,
The very breath that I am longing for.
My heart is desperate for Your ways.
Refine me in Your holy blaze,
If that is what it takes to know You more.
You are the Truth that sets me free;
Your word is life to me.
Only the power of Your Word
Can melt away these chains
That have held me far too long.
So light the fire and let it burn
These shackles and restraints,
And I will sing this freedom song.
- - -
You are the Word, my one desire...
You are the Truth that sets me free.
Your word is life to me.
