It is the Word of God alone,
 The written Word, I mean,
By which the will of God is known,
 For there His ways are seen.

The Bible is the way by which
 The Holy Spirit leads,
And he will fall into a ditch
 Who to another heeds.

If you would grow in every grace,
 And have your mind renewed,
The Bible is the only place
 To find your proper food.

And if you need to yet be led
 In matters more concrete,
Like where to go and whom to wed,
 His Word is still complete.

For though the answers won’t be spelled
 In letters in the sky,
The wisdom in His Word beheld
 Will guide you by and by.

You think you need to hear a voice
 Specifically for you,
That offers not a bit of choice,
 But tells you what to do.

But God has not ordained thereby
 To guide how each man lives;
He leaves us freedom to apply
 The principles He gives.

When searching for God’s will for you,
There’s just one place to look.
The things that He would have you do
 Are written in the Book.
