OUR COMPASS


You hear so very often
About someone getting lost
They lose their way completely
Sometimes there is great cost
They wander away too far
To find their way back home
If they had used a compass
They never would have roamed

The compass would have pointed them
In the way they were to go
It would show them every time
What they needed to know
If they followed it completely
Trusted it to point the way
They would surely be alright
Whether it was night or day

We too have a compass
On which we can rely
Our compass is the word of God
It's truths you can't deny
If we follow what it says
And don't doubt where it leads
We will live the kind of lives
That are very blessed indeed

We'll have no fear of getting lost
If we follow on God's way
For the Bible it will guide us
Through our life everyday
If we will follow Jesus
The one who loves us so
We will never go astray
He'll look out for our soul

We'll make it all the way
As we depend on what we read
We will be kept from danger
If on His word we feed
For the Bible is our compass
The Bible is our light
The Bible it will guide us
All through each day and night
