THE BOOK


We've all been told the story
Of how Jesus walked on earth
Myth or legend...simple truth?
We must each decide it's worth

History has accepted it
As a recorded, valid fact
While some dispute it even now
Though not with lots of tact

But mankind in general, tends to agree
'Cause most of us just aren't liable
To dispute or even argue with
What's written in the Bible!

For what's in it is a game plan
God's strategy for salvation
If we use it, it can guide us
Through life's trials and tribulations

The Lord's life in words and parables
Along with lessons that He taught
About reaching for Eternal Life
Knowledge that can't be bought

How to pray and talk with God
Showing us how to live
Teaching us to be more like Him
Always willing to forgive

Exactly what we should & shouldn't do
He taught us by example
For folks are searching high and low
For something new to sample

Proclaim yourself a child of God
Help make His message known
Spread the Word around the world
That none of us is on our own!

We each have a loving Father
Who watches from above
Waiting only to be asked
Before He showers us with love

God Almighty sent Christ His Son
Who suffered and died for us
Then left the Bible as a road map
To eliminate doubt and fuss!

So, to those who still procrastinate
Or fear making the wrong deduction?
For Heaven's sake....just read the Book!
He left step-by-step instructions!

So that His Children everywhere
Would know they're not alone
Trust me...God gives GREAT directions
And we ALL can make it home!!
