By them is Your servant warned

In keeping them great reward

Your law secures my wounds

The kingdoms of man have all decayed

The ruins of progress turn to waste

The gods of greed lay in their graves

But there's a path in the dark that has emerged

I can see a great light beyond this curse

A brilliant blaze that is Your word

A beacon of hope that burns

And I focus my captivated gaze
Dm7
On the radiant light from Jesus' face

The water of life is all I crave, only Your Word remains

So much more than precious gold is the beauty I behold
C Em
Give me the glorious reward of knowing You my King, my Lord
