The majority of the hymn's lines speak of what the Christian is to do, but in the second line, the "feed on His Word" implies the importance of receiving that which is extended to us by the Lord, specifically here the "external Word" of Holy Scripture. <br /><br />There's a very simple song recorded by Blind Willie Thompson:<br /><br />https://genius.com/Blind-willie-johnson-nobodys-fault-but-mine-lyrics<br /><br />If I don't read the inscripturated Word, then, yes, my soul will be lost -- i.e. all too likely confused by all manner of fake news, fake "wisdom" instead. What a need there is for what Seraphim Rose called the daily injection of divine truth. I do think certain commentaries can be helpful, e.g. Steinmann's on the book of Daniel.<br /><br />Dale NelsonWurmbrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345523517796356674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-25581182297522384322021-03-02T04:15:49.868+00:002021-03-02T04:15:49.868+00:00May I share lyrics from a favorite hymn?
