About this Hymn
The author of Psalm 119 explodes with the reality that God did not give us the words of Scripture simply to be read, understood, and discussed. Even more, they are gifts to be treasured, trusted in, and obeyed. God's word is our rest, our joy, our protection, our freedom, and our life. Where else could we go? – Bob Kauflin
Lyrics
Verse 1
Your words are wonderful, unfolding like the dawn; a wellspring and the rock we rest upon. We trust your promises that keep our hope alive; they steady us throughout life's weary climb.
Chorus 1
Where else can we go? Where else can we go? You have the words of life, the words of life.
Verse 2
Come write your holy truth upon our longing hearts and strengthen us to shine against the dark. Lord, guard us from the lies the enemy will speak, no guilt remains for those you have redeemed.
Chorus 2
Where else can we go? Where else can we go? You have the words of life, the words of life. Make your glory known, make your glory known through all your words of life, your words of life.
Bridge
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see; help us in our doubt and unbelief.
