The Fear of the Lord – v3

Spending time in scripture
in the truth from God
from the Fear of the Lord
comes wisdom, courage
freedom, life evermore

The fear of the Lord is not
something we want to ponder
for we want a loving God
without the pain, the Judgment
at the end of the age

Spending time in scripture
pondering God’s loving Word
recognizing the difference
between Christ’s life and our own
mired in the dust, the clay

The fear of the Lord gives understanding
the distance between God and man
acknowledging our sin, our limits,
more able to realize
the grace of the great I Am.
