The Bible The Bible is my favorite Book ~ Not many others deserve a look. The pages are a little worn, But none are ever torn. The bread for my soul ~ Is this old Bible that I hold. It is the water of life ~ Teaching me to be a good wife. It takes away my thirsty need ~ It is the meat on which I feed. Nourishing me for my struggles day by day ~ Guiding and showing me the way. It is the lamp for my pathway ~ Lighting up the journey of the day. The words on its pages ~ Will last through all the ages. It is sweeter than honey, and better than money. It is a map that directs the blind, And gives strength to my spine. It is a knife that cuts both ways, And it is mercy that listens when I pray. Hope for a better tomorrow ~ The answer for all sorrow. A mirror that reveals all my sin, And a compass to help me find my way again. It is a clock that tells the time ~ It is a brain that has God's mind. It tells when evil will end ~ It tells about the beginning. It is the tree of life for me, And all those that believe. The Bible is alive and well, And saves my soul from hell. It is a ruler to measure my worth, And tells about Jesus birth. It is a history of time, And tells of God's power so divine. It shows the door of eternal life, Which is Jesus Christ. Reveals the future and the past ~ It will forever last. It will never tell a lie ~ The Word of God will never die. It speaks the truth to every man, But not everyone understands. God's Spirit teaches each line ~ To all those with listening minds. He does surgery on the heart, And creates a work of art. Master builder of all things ~ King and priest with offerings. Molds and shapes each man, And then makes him stand. There is no end of all the Bible can do ~ When God is working on me and you!
