1. Let the Word Be in Me
The song at the end of the book
Verse 1The screen can fill a page by morning, The words come quick and sound so true, But I cannot speak for You, my Father, Until I've sat alone with You.ChorusLet the Word be in me, Lord, Before it reaches my lips; Let it humble me and break me, Let it hold me in Your grip. I will tell them how it came, I will hide no borrowed part; The machine has many words, But You write Yours on my heart.Verse 2When my hands can hold no pen, Lord, Still my voice can bear Your light; Help is nothing I should hide, Lord, Let me bring it into sight.ChorusLet the Word be in me, Lord, Before it reaches my lips; Let it humble me and break me, Let it hold me in Your grip. I will tell them how it came, I will hide no borrowed part; The machine has many words, But You write Yours on my heart.Verse 3Let the passage search me first, Lord, Let me kneel before I teach; What it asks of all Your people, Let it ask of me before I preach.ChorusLet the Word be in me, Lord, Before it reaches my lips; Let it humble me and break me, Let it hold me in Your grip. I will tell them how it came, I will hide no borrowed part; The machine has many words, But You write Yours on my heart.OutroThe machine has many words, Lord; I have Yours, and You have me.
