Beth Moore wrote out the words to a song in week 9 of her Daniel bible study that are just INCREDIBLE! She said it right when she said, "The song was so powerful I felt as if my soul were going to jump right out of my skin." The singer is Travis Cottrell, and the song is called "Your Word is Life to Me".
I'm a stranger in this place;
This world is not my home.
I want more than it can give.
I am a desert needing rain;
I'm thirsty for your voice.
The very reason that I live-
You are the Word, my one desire,
An all consuming holy fire,
The very breath that I am longing for.
My heart is desperate for Your ways.
Refine me in your holy blaze,
If that is what it takes to know You more.
You are the Truth that sets me free;
Your word is life to me.
Only the power of Your Word
Can melt away these chains
That have held me far too long.
So light the fire and let it burn
These shackles and restraints,
And I will sing this freedom song.
***
You are the Word, my one desire...
You are the Truth that sets me free.
Your word is life to me.
Isn't that so amazing and comforting to read? It felt good just to type it out. Once again, I HIGHLY suggest this Daniel bible study. It's the best study I've ever done, and I'm so thankful for it.

Wow - I've heard from so many women say that both the Daniel and the Believing God study by Beth Moore are life changing. What a touching song - I look forward to hearing it. You've gotten me even more motivated to find a Beth Moore study to join!
Love'em. I'd forgotten about that sweet peek-a-boo pose! I'm gonna suggest it to my Caroline.
I think Iwouold like to take that class. It isn't offered at a c of c here and the times its' offered at the baptist church conflicts so it's kinda sticky. I would like to go. I really like beth moore. I went to a simo-cast?sp? deal last year. She was funny and cute too.(and that's important)
I'm in the middle of the Daniel study and did Believing God a few years ago and both are AWESOME! I think Daniel is even better, though! It has literally left me speechless, in tears, and overwhelmed! Do both if you haven't!

Great post-I'd like to do that bible study, too!
I wish I had known you were in this study when you were in town. I am in the Daniel study too on Wednesday nights. It is so different from her other ones. How far have you gotten? We are in week 5. I hope you guys got home safely and that James is able to get back on his schedule without any difficulty. :)
