Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet (Perry)
Music for Choirs, Submitted Music (1998-2006)
I am a child, so far from home,
Strangely adrift yet not alone.
I’m learning line on line,
I’m growing grace by grace,
clinging to the light I have been given.
Until I hear thy voice,
Until I see thy face,
Until I truly taste of heaven
“thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
It leads to the source of purest light, and to all the father hath.
It resounds in my soul, like a voice from along ago,
In words so pure and sweet,
“thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
Someday beyond the veil I’ll worship at thy feet.
But ‘Til that blessed day when faith and knowledge meet:
“thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
