On the Boyce & Stanley album In the Company of Angels. This is one of our highlighted songs for 2020, Year of the Word: The God Who Speaks.

LYRICS

A billion, billion atoms
to make someone like me
A billion billion planets
in a space too vast to see
The prayers of countless ages
in tumult for a sign
Collide in well worn pages
of this NIV of mine

Ancient truths that speak to every age
The words I can’t ignore,
each day they’re leading me
Revelation leaping off the page
Each day I’m reaching for
the book that’s reading me

A thousand situations,
with wise words from a friend
Instructions from my maker,
which I cannot comprehend.
The answers to the questions
I thought I’d never find
And every secret longing
brought gently in to my mind.
