Story Behind The Song
This is a personal account of how I treat the holy Word of God in my daily life. Not just as an
instrument for a formal "devotional", but as an
object given to me in love..with love.
Song Description
In the Bible, the letters of the Apostles Peter, Paul, John and Jude are all exhibitions of God's love for us. Instilled with the Holy Spirit,
these saints recorded the dictates of our Father Creator. They are God's "love letters" to us.

Lyrics
When life becomes the Enemy
and tests my very best,
Devouring my will until
my sole request is rest,
It's then that I find
a moment of my time
to seek out some solitude,
I reach for Your book
and take a good look,
I read my "love letters" from You,
(chorus)
Oh, I love Your "love letters" to me,
Sacred Scripture that's like poetry,
What ...a revelation
to know my salvation
is guarenteed,
In Your "love letters" to me,
Your parables and prophesies
all call me from each page,
Your proverbs and Your psalms echo
Your love from age to age,
For eternity
Your Word will always be
the beacon by which I steer,
Like Peter and Paul,
I treasure them all,
Your precious "love letters" so dear,
(chorus)
(bridge)
More than just paper that has been penned--
More than a wealth of worldly wisdom--
The true authored thoughts from the "Author of Life",
compel me--propel me through my daily strife,
Oh, I love Your "love letters" to me,
Sacred Scripture that's like poetry,
What ...a revelation
to know my salvation
is guarenteed-,
In Your "love letters" to me,
