UNDERSTAND

UNDERSTAND

 

They read God’s word

Do they know what it means

A mindless chant

That’s what it seems

 

They need to know

The sense of God’s word

That when you read it aloud

That you’ve also heard

 

It’s important that people

All understand

Make sure you reach them

With God’s command

 

It’s all right to repeat

When there’s a lesson to learn

As learn God’s word

It’s His love that you’ll earn

 

The bible’s God’s truth

Not just an ornament

For Jesus is the word

He’s a living testament

 

So they read distinctly from the book,

in the Law of God; and they gave the sense,

and helped them to understand the reading.

NEHEMIAH 8:8

 

1 In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.

2 He was in the beginning with God.

JOHN  1 : 1, 2
