From when I was a child quite
small
great Bible stories I still
recall
the old testament adventures I
liked best
but now, both give solace and
rest.
My folks didn't go to Church,
they stayed home
but I went every Sunday alone.
With my Bible clutched to my
chest,
wearing my Sunday's best.
That book from beginning to
end
has been my heart's best
friend!
It fills my very life's soul
as it's words deep within I
hold.
From the creation of Adam and
Eve,
no Darwin can I conceive or
even believe ....
Scriptures of Noah and the
great flood,
to God's only Son shedding
blood
Psalms helps us give praise
as David's soul verses raise
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
give us courage to carry on!
No matter where I've found
myself to be
those old stories will always
be with me.
In times of sorrow, trouble
and strife
they have ever guided my
soul's life.
Messages of salvation and love
written by hands guided from
above
How my soul they inspire
filling every Christian
desire.
No matter where I may sit
at home or near a pulpit
the Bible whispers words of
hope
and gives the strength needed
to cope.
God's words speak affirmations
for a promised soul's
salvation.
My Bible always in my heart or
by my side
gives what is needed if we
only abide.
It is our life's guiding light
and calms our soul with peace
and quiet.
Let this light shine deep
within and guide you ...
with those time old
scriptures, tried and true!
A guiding light along a path
for our feet
until the day our Savior we
shall meet.
No matter sin, trouble or time
....
This guiding light is yours
and mine.
