[Verse 1]
When the shadows fall and night begins
I feel my heart growing faint

[Refrain]
So I will still myself and meditate
On the thing which gives me strength

[Verse 2]
When the son comes up and morning breaks
I think of all I have to do, today

[Refrain]
So I will still myself and meditate
On the thing which gives me strength

[Chorus]
'Cause it's Your Word
It's precious to me
And Your Word
It's precious to me

[Verse 1]
When the shadows fall and night begins
I feel my heart and it's growing faint
[Refrain]
So I will still myself and meditate
On the thing which gives me strength

[Chorus]
'Cause it's Your Word
It's precious to me, la-da-da-da-dm-do
And Your Word
It's precious to me, mm
I say that it's Your Word, Lord
It's precious to me, la-da-da-da-dm-do
It's Your Word
Oh it's precious to me

[Bridge]
Though my enemies may all surround me
You will, God, protect and hide me
In the shadow of Your wings
So I open my mouth and I breathe in deep
That Your Word of Life may be in me
To overcome the world
Though my enemies may all surround me
You will, God, protect and hide me
In the shadow of Your wings
So I open my mouth and I breathe in deep
That Your Word of Life may be in me
To overcome the world (To overcome the world)
[Verse 3]
When the shadows fall and night begins
Lord, don't let me lose my way
Be as a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Be as a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

[Chorus]
'Cause it's Your Word
It's precious to me, la-da-da-da-dm-do
And it's Your Word, Lord
It's precious to me
Jesus, it's Your Word mm
It's precious to me, it's precious to me, la-da-da-da-dm-do
And It's Your Word (And it's Your Word)
Oh it's precious to me (It's precious to me)
