I’m living in a land of death The trees are burnt and gray There’s a smoldering smoke over head And the night looks the same as the day It seems the miracle that I can stand When everyone I’ve known Drifts up in the air with the ash Every time that the wind starts to blow
But I feel alive with a life that’s not mine Your law is a stream in this wasteland; my lifeline. So much more than precious gold Are Your promises my Lord By them is Your servant warned, And keeping them great reward
Your direction is my delight Your law secures my roots I will meditate day and night And in season You'll harvest the fruit Though a poison should threaten to kill I know my Savior reigns And when the breezes of death leave a chill I've got Jesus’ blood in my veins
So I feel alive with a life that’s not mine And I'm believing that that was Your intended design Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com So much more than precious gold Are Your promises my Lord By them is Your servant warned, And keeping them great reward
The kingdoms of man have all decayed The ruins of progress turn to waste The gods of greed lie in their graves Darkness is everywhere But there’s a path in the dark that has emmerged 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 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 Give me the glorious reward Of knowing You my King my Lord
