In His Word each day,
To show us how to truly live,
And how to walk His way.
He sent His Son to live on earth,
To teach us where to go,
For mankind was lost in sin,
Too blind to truth to know.
The way the teachers of the law,
Taught was just in vain,
Many lives were locked in sin
No hope, but death and pain.
The ways of the world are fleeting,
Bringing turmoil, sin and strife,
Without purpose or direction
To give us hope or life.
Many were amazed at His teaching,
He taught with authority.
His wisdom was not of this world
Christ came to set us free.
When a disciple said to Jesus
“Lord, teach us how to pray.”
He gave to them His Father’s Prayer.
By example showed the way.
He taught them from His Father’s Word,
According to God’s will.
In parables, revealed the truth,
To love, not hate or kill.
Many lives were turned around,
While others carried on,
With the way that they were living,
Too late when they were gone.
They plotted to destroy Him
And crucified our Lord.
Although they did not know it,
It was God’s Will and Word.
Christ was the greatest teacher,
that God could ever give,
Because He rose victorious
Eternal life to give.
