You
just got to have a glance
At
the pages 'bout His will
You
can try to spot what pleases Him
And
all those that never will
And
you'll see why some bow at His feet
And
the mounts cannot stand still
Coz
the Word gets me inbound right now
And
my heart and my mind wants to hear its sound
So
I must, till I burn my lungs, to shout and say
That
you just got to read
In
the sixth day the world began
Our
God was out to share His image when He shaped up the man
And
in accomplishing creation, chose to rest in the seventh day
And
you just got to mention how the nation of the Israelites
All
have wandered in the wilderness and He was their guide
Then
in time He wrote them down the Ten in Mount Sinai, and … hey
Well,
you just got to read
You'll
just have a glimmer
Of
what comes eternally
It
was transferred through all lands and times
To
make known Who makes men free
For
it is by the Scriptures' seed we
Grow
as Y.H.W.H.'s sheep
In
a world where sin is loud and proud
Our
lives need a guide that is Spirit-bound
We'll
be lost if were not of God who reroutes our ways
Through
Scriptures that we read
It
distinguishes wrong from right
And
what's contained therein's sufficient for our everyday lives
So
I'm gonna share by preaching it, though I know I may try and fail
For
even God's own poets, or his prophets; every king, every judge
Were
like any of the other guys who... sin as much
But
were kept from sinning further, and He won't leave us astray
So
in God's Law we heed
You
can trust the ancient text
Coz
it's by the faithful Hand
But
you must take some of time and work
Like
what the exegetes have
So
if you would like a deeper look
Once
you've past the reading plan
You
will serve to sit with drowned out sound
Just
to search and to find – draw it's meaning out
There's
a cost if you turn the truth that's found away
What
Scriptures have revealed
Prophecies
of old were to pass
The
source the early Christian church was still the Old Testament
So
the apostles, soaked in Spirit, wrote the rest that we have today
Of
Scriptures that will show us how the righteous – in faith they
shall live by
How
I wonder at the plan of saving sinners to mind
And
I don't mind if only now that Trinity was revealed this way
Through
Scriptures that we read
-Instrumental
Break-
Oh, no, no
You
just can't delay
To
sit down seeking out your path
Sure
it contains some myst'ries
But
you can't deny its facts
Coz
the more you dress up for each day
You
will know what might attack
Coz
the world will sink you down to frown
Coz
it hates hearing Christ and to see Him crowned
You'll
be tossed in the storm of the worldliest crowd's cold waves
If
you don't task to read
As
we see the Lord's Coming like
A
band of lightning strikes all flashing like a thief in the night
And
all the world will shake and shiver at the sight of His might that
Day
The
last book: Revelation takes of mention
Who
will reign from above
And
described a spot in Paradise we're dreaming of
But
we cannot stop and dream it, we must search what God has to say
You
just have to read
Oh
oh oh, Oh oh oh, (Woh) oh oh oh
It
was sent, and we saw the Son
The
Father, and the Holy Spirit, and the things He's done
So
we have to keep on cherishing the Word of God till today
You
just have to soak into the ocean of His presence above
And
desire the stuff what the Most High is willling on
But
you cannot last to please Him if you're heart's to hard to say
I
just want to hear (I just want to hear)
What
you want me to read (What you want me to read)
I
just have to read (I just have to read)
