My Bible

[Alan]

I saw this poem in the March 10, 2017, Vol. LXXXIII, No. 5, issue of 'The Sword of the Lord.' The Poem did not list any credits, or an author, and may be found on page 3, under, 'For Preachers.'

My Bible

Though the cover is worn

And the pages are torn

                  And though places bear

                traces of tears,

Yet more precious than gold

Is the Book, worn and old,

                   That can shatter and scatter

  my fears.

When I prayerfully look

    In the precious old Book,

                           As my eyes scan the pages I

see

Many tokens of love

      From the Father above

                        Who is nearest and dearest

      to me.

This old Book is my Guide;

'Tis a Friend by my side;

                   It will lighten and brighten

      my way.

And each promise I find

           Soothes and gladden my mind

            As I read it and heed it

today.

It is my hope that all of us will love the pages of the Perfect Holy Writ from a loving Father above.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17
