Line Upon Line

Line upon line
Precept on precept.
We soon will find
We've progressed and leapt.

Here a little and
There a little more
We teach to each land,
We preach to each shore.

The gospel truths
Improve our lives.
Spread the good news
To God we make strides.

Here a little and
There a little more.
We teach to each land.
We preach to each shore.

Our tongues can speak
With stammering lips
To the lost and weak
Of steps up from slips.

Here a little and
They can fall away.
There a little and
We can help them stay.

-Isaiah

Isa. 28: 10, 13, 17
10 For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line,
line upon line; here a little, and
there a little:
• • •
13 But the word of the Lord was
unto them precept upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line,
line upon line; here a little,
and there a little; that they might go,
and fall backward, and be broken,
and snared, and taken.

last verse by Courtney VanWagenen
