How can a
young man keep his way pure?
By living
according to your word.
I seek you with all my
heart;
do not let me stray from your
commands.
I have hidden your word in my
heart
that I might not sin against
you.
Praise be to you, O LORD;
teach me your
decrees.
Psalm 119:9-12
I am thinking
tonight,
Of some dear friends I've known,
And the wonderful light,
On my pathway they've shown!
The first one to come to mind,
Is dear Brother Cook!
He was so good and kind,
For he lived by "The Book!"
He would occasionally drop by,
The little church where we went,
And we could not deny,
That he was God sent!
A message he would bring,
Delivered with love!
It sure had the "true ring!"
It was from God up above!
Our souls were always stirred,
By the things he would say!
When he prophesied God's word,
'Twas a glad happy day!
Oh, sweet memories so dear,
Of those precious days of yore,
I like to keep near,
And rehearse them o'er and o'er!
