Psalm 119: What God's Word Provides Me

The Bible Study for this week was based on the song, Live In Your Word, on Damaris Carbaugh's The Collection Cd. 

LIVE IN YOUR WORD
 Written by Steve Siler/Tony Wood/Scott Krippayne © 2004 Word Music

Chaos ahead, choices to make; It’s silence I need
Seeking to know your heart and your mind
Where you want to lead; Father I thirst for your wisdom
Make me at home in your truth; I want to

CHORUS: Live in your Word; Abiding in faith
I want to walk in your steps; To trust and obey
A light upon the narrow path; A lamp unto my feet
I want to live in your Word; Till your Word is living in me

I need your Word buried like seeds; Deep in my soul
Chapter and verse, nourishing me; A harvest will grow
Oh Father you feed every hunger
I know where my strength is found; So I will
Repeat Chorus

You spoke and the universe came to be
You speak and my life has endless possibilities; So I will
Repeat Chorus

One of the questions of the Study was: 

In each section of verses,

from Psalm 119,

what does the Psalmist state

about the “Word of God”?

Instead of just copying the words of the Psalmist, I searched for what God's Word provided me. Here is what I learned.
