Lamp unto My Feet

Psalm 119:103-105

How sweet are God's Words unto my taste,
Sweeter than honey not to swallow in haste;
In gaining understanding, I hate deception,
That could be causing such a misconception;
For the Word of God is a lamp unto my feet,
Light unto my pathway, victory over deceit.
Hearing the Scriptures from our Lord God,
Should always bring you joy as you applaud;
In His love and faithfulness that has shown,
Even ensuring that your life would be atone;
Listening to His Word has a positive note,
For whatever may ail you it has an antidote;
Throughout human history we have rebelled,
With the false prophets, made us compelled;
For it almost seems as if God has forsaken,
But we've been sleeping and are mistaken;
He has sent His prophets for us to believe,
Then we shun them thinking they deceive;
One way or another there's nothing to fear,
God has His methods for making us hear.
