The Law of the Lord is perfect,
None of us should ever reject;
Because they will renew the soul,
Letting Him to maintain control.
His testimony is real clear,
Showing the time is very near;
It makes gullible people wise,
With insight to open their eyes.
The precepts of the Lord are right,
The radiance makes it so bright;
Making eyes shine and heart rejoice,
As lips and tongue lift up the voice.
The fear of the Lord is so pure,
It teaches you how to endure;
With decisions completely fair,
True to the Word that He will share.
The Law is sweeter than honey,
More valuable than money;
Even more than silver or gold,
To purchase time as days unfold.
The time will come God will condemn,
Because I have been warned by them;
Of the ones who do not abide,
In the Law of the crucified.
But if you do follow the Lord,
Then you will receive a reward;
On the straight and narrow pathway,
Never detour or go astray.
