Words
by Aaron Leatherdale

Album: Radiant

Heavy traffic, life's distractions
So many pressures taxing me
Stressing me, vying for time & affection
Pullin' me in every which direction
Hectic, I need to take a second
To pull away moment of reflection, heart connection
Your word is a lamp to these steps
Everyday I'm thinking about Your precepts
The entrance of Your word brings light to me
Open up my eyes that I might see
My joy & delight, breakin' lies, makin' wise
The simple-minded, sight for the blinded
I love the scriptures more than riches
Than pieces of gold, the secrets unfold as I read
Like the Road to Emmaus
All the phrases are leaping off the pages

I will keep Your word inside my heart so I don't fall apart
I will stick with You through thick and thin so that I do not sin
In Your words I've got my trust
My treasure that won't rot or rust
I will choose to walk in Your way everyday from dawn till dusk

I love Your words, the lines and the paragraphs
Keep me on the straight & narrow path
They're teaching me a lesson, my confession
When temptation knocks my foundation's on a rock
Flesh is grass, fading fast but Your word lasts forever
In every passage reversing the curse
Reading every chapter every verse
And my soul converts
Cold hearts get ignited when Your words get recited
Through the ups & downs of life gaining crowns of life
When the storms come, Psalm number 1
By the waters green trees planted by the streams
Seeds falling on the fertile soil
Through my labor and my toil
I'll be sitting at your feet, gettin' oil
Through the day to day, the 9-5, the daily grind
I think about Your words, I pull away, I make the time

I will keep Your word inside my heart so I don't fall apart
I will stick with You through thick and thin so that I do not sin
In Your words I've got my trust
My treasure that won't rot or rust
I will choose to walk in Your way everyday from dawn till dusk

There's a battlefield that's ragin my soul is the stage
The spirit and the flesh don't mesh
Light VS darkness, pros & cons
Trainin' my hands for battle bending bows of bronze
Soldier stationed, weapons & rations
Powers, principalities in heavenlies clashing
Breastplate, sword of the Spirit, I meditate
The shield of faith to my head on straight

I will keep Your word inside my heart so I don't fall apart
I will stick with You through thick and thin so that I do not sin
In Your words I've got my trust
My treasure that won't rot or rust
I will choose to walk in Your way everyday from dawn till dusk
