As I Search the Holy Scriptures

Lyrics

1. 1. As I search the holy scriptures,

   Loving Father of mankind,

   May my heart be blessed with wisdom,

   And may knowledge fill my mind.

2. 2. As I search the holy scriptures,

   Touch my spirit, Lord, I pray.

   May life’s myst’ries be unfolded

   As I study day by day.

3. 3. As I search the holy scriptures,

   May thy mercy be revealed.

   Soothe my troubled heart and spirit;

   May my unseen wounds be healed.

4. 4. As I search the holy scriptures,

   Help me ponder and obey.

   In thy word is life eternal;

   May thy light show me the way.
