Making Our Way Successful

(Joshua 1:8)

1. God Jehovah told Joshua:

‘From my Law do not stray.

Read each day in an undertone,

Then take care to obey.

Let it guide you in all you do,

From your mouth not depart.

Then successful will be your way

As the truth guides your heart.

Then successful will be your way

As the truth guides your heart.’

2. When the kings ruled in Israel

And obeyed God’s command:

‘Ev’ry king for himself must write

God’s Law in his own hand

And must read in it all his days

That he humble might be.’

Then Jehovah would bless his realm;

Lengthened days he would see.

Then Jehovah would bless his realm;

Lengthened days he would see.

3. In the Bible we find the way

God would have us to live.

Since we cannot direct our step,

Help to us he must give.

If we’re feeding on his own thoughts,

We’ll come to know his will.

When our thinking is trained by God,

His commands we’ll fulfill.

When our thinking is trained by God,

His commands we’ll fulfill.
