Sometimes while working in the office, I like to have music on in the background. Today, I decided to listen to some gospel and spiritual songs Johnny Cash recorded in his personal recording studio. Just Cash and his guitar. There are some good old favorites like "Have Thine Own Way Lord," and "In the
Sweet Bye and Bye," among others. But the disc led off with a song I did not know, a song Cash wrote.
As the Bible is laid open, and the Bread of Life I find
In the Words You have spoken, seal it in my heart and mind.
Seal it in my heart and mind, Lord, seal it in my heart and mind
Let me always take it with me, seal it in my heart and mind.
I find proof of Your forgiveness, and what wisdom there I find
And the strength for daily living, seal it in my heart and mind
Seal it in my heart and mind, Lord, seal it in my heart and mind
Let me always take it with me, seal it in my heart and mind
Words of love and inspiration, light to guide me when I'm blind
Keep me filled in preparation, seal it in my heart and mind
Seal it in my heart and mind, Lord, seal it in my heart
Let me always take it with you, seal it in my heart and mind.
Strikes me that this would make a very appropriate prayer when beginning a time of study and prayer.
