from the 1979 album, The Melodies in Me. A great melody. The music style may sound dated all these years later (although it's beautifully arranged and features killer players!), but this song holds a very special place in my heart.

40 years after her first album, Nancy Honeytree is still making music. Check out her web site at:

Lyrics:
The sure word is a light that shineth in the dark
Til the day dawn and the Daystar arise in your heart

One sweet word of God
Set my heart on fire
One sweet word of God
Tell the devil he's a liar
One sweet word of God
Raise my vision higher
My desire
One sweet word of God

One sweet word of God
Talk to me tonight
One sweet word of God
Put my unbelief to flight
One sweet word of God
Make my spirit right
My delight
One sweet word of God

Speak to my heart
Let me hear
Sweet and clear
One sweet word of God
