Psalm 12 | The Words of the LORD (MSAL)

Lyrics by Jody Killingsworth and Jake Mentzel
Music by Jody Killingsworth

The words of the LORD are pure words
Like silver tried in a furnace
The words of the LORD are pure words
Refined for seven times
I don’t much care for your words
You speak and I get nervous
The words of the LORD are pure words
I keep them in my mind

Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be
The faithful have all left the land, there’s none that I can see
Everywhere I go now all I hear is vanity
The words of the LORD are pure, that’s why I keep them close to me

O the words of the LORD are pure words
Like silver tried in a furnace
The words of the LORD are pure words
Refined for seven times
I don’t much care for your words
You speak and I get nervous
The words of the LORD are pure words
I keep them in my mind

The wicked strut on every side, taunting with their boasts
“There is no help for him in God, not from the LORD of Hosts”
But I will trust my Father God, the Son, and Holy Ghost
Just one Word from Him can save me to the uttermost
O the words of the LORD are pure words
Like silver tried in a furnace
The words of the LORD are pure words
Refined for seven times
I don’t much care for your words
You speak and I get nervous
The words of the LORD are pure words
I keep them in my mind

He sees the poor are plundered and He hears the needy groan
God will arise again in power and take them for His own
But lying lips and crooked hearts, our LORD has never known
He cuts them off and burns them up, they reap what they have sown

O the words of the LORD are pure words
Like silver tried in a furnace
The words of the LORD are pure words
Refined for seven times
I don’t much care for your words
You speak and I get nervous
The words of the LORD are pure words
I keep them in my mind
(x2)

I keep them in my mind
