Refrain Your words are spirit and life, O Lord: richer than gold, stronger than death. Your words are spirit and life, O Lord; life everlasting. 1. God’s law is perfect, refreshing the soul, reviving the weary spirit. God’s rule can be trusted: bringing us wisdom, bringing God’s wisdom to birth. 2. God’s precepts keep us; their purpose is right. They gladden the hearts of people. God’s command is so clear it brings us new vision; bringing God’s light to our eyes. 3. Living by God’s truth is holy and sure; God’s presence is everlasting. God’s truth is eternal, bringing us justice; bringing God’s justice to earth. 4. God’s word is precious, desired more than gold; worth more than we dare imagine and, sweeter than honey, this word will feed us, bringing fulfillment and joy.
