But if I
say, “I will not mention His word or speak anymore in his name,”
His word is in
my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot.
Jeremiah
20:9
I love the imagery in that verse. I wish I could boldly proclaim this in my
heart. I wish the weariness I feel was indeed because His Word burns in my soul
and I cannot hold it in. The only way I
can attempt to make this statement true is to read His Word…and to know
it…really know it, like one would read
and re-read a love letter over and over until the paper becomes so fragile that
it could almost disintegrate within your fingers. THAT is how I want the Word
of God to set in my heart. For that is
what God has left behind for us to KNOW Him more.
I know I am not the only one that
struggles with being in the Bible regularly. I also know when I am in the Word and when I memorize and meditate on what He
has spoken to me, I grow. I grow in
peace, in strength, in wisdom, in faith…and the list continues.
The Word of God carries great power and changes the hearts of
men.
For the word
of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the
division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the
thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
I had the privilege of writing this song
with two of my very talented friends.
Tim Painter created the guitar arrangement and David Halvorson added
more guitar accents. Thank you guys for
imparting your talents!
Fire in my bones
Becki J Buescher, Tim Painter, David Halvorson
The more that I know you
The clearer I hear you
I press in to discern your voice
You revive my soul
Your timing is perfection
I must wait upon You
You know me better and know better
what is best for me
Like a fire in my bones
Your word burns deep
With a passion I cannot deny
Reveal Your life in me
Taste as see what I have found
Drips wisdom from my lips
Sweeter than honey to my soul
Oh my Lord is Good
