Without A Word

by Toby Reed

Without A Word

Jesus Christ Comforts Us,

Without a Word

He keeps us Straight and Strong,

He Shows us what we Ought To See,

He Teaches us A whole New Life Style,

Though Sometimes We wonder Off

The Path of Righteousness

Sometimes Far from All

Choosing Wistful Thoughts And Dreams

God Picks us up each An Every Time We May Fall,

It Seems we May Hunger for goodness

In a Loaf Of Bread,

At Times Our Thirst Is Cooled by a Spring Of Life,

He guides Our Every Step To rest my Head,

We awake To Hear The Blue Bird Sing,

Where ever It May Be In Time,

We Call Out for Him By Night And Day,

Through Good Times Or By Bad Times,

He Is Never Too Far a-way To Hear,

His job for Me Is never done,

He will be done with Me without a Word...
