I used to open my bible and not understand a word,
then I asked God to help me and the most wonderful thing occurred.

My eyes saw the same words but now could comprehend,
my God heard and an answer He did send.

I used to think love was something to be earned,
but it's free, God's love is free, I've now learned.

The scriptures may as well have been in Greek for what they meant to me,
but God has opened my eyes so now they see.

Rules and regulations that is how I thought of life,
and worrying over following them caused unbearable strife.

What not to eat and what not to wear,
is this a place I should enter or should I stay out of there?

What day is the sabbath I mustn't break the law,
I tried to live my life worrying over every flaw.

I'll never get to Heaven I can't live free of sin,
I'll never make it. I'm not good enough to get in.

What a relief to finally have my eyes opened so I could learn,
salvation is free, not something we have to earn.

Believe to receive, that is what the Bible has to say,
believe in Jesus, He is the only way.

Believe, receive and then confess it to others,
sharing the good news with your sisters and brothers.

Comprehension is understanding the words I read,
now I devour God's Word, I can't seem to fill my need.
