[MUSIC PLAYING - "SEARCH, PONDER, AND PRAY" AND "I THINK WHEN I READ THAT SWEET STORY"]

(SINGING) I love to read the holy scriptures, And, ev'ry time I do, I feel the Spirit start to grow within my heart-- A testimony that they're true. Search, ponder, and pray Are the things that I must do. The Spirit will guide, and, deep inside, I know the scriptures are true.

I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How he called little children like lambs to his fold; I should like to have been with him then.

I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arms had been thrown around me, That I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me." So, prayerfully I'll read the scriptures Each day my whole life through. I'll come to understand. I'll heed the Lord's command And live as he would have me do. Search, ponder, and pray Are the things that I must do. The Spirit will guide, and, deep inside, I know the scriptures are true.

I love to read the holy scriptures.

I know the scriptures are true.
