How I really love to sing this song. It always urges me to read the Bible and enjoy Christ as the all-inclusive One. We may always have the burden to study and dig more of the truth. PRAISE THE LORD FOR HE IS THE WORD.
Fairfax, Virgina, United States
I like this song becuase it shows me how important the Bible is. Whenever I sing this song, I have the urge to read the Bible.
