Sacred Book

Sacred Book

“16 All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 so that everyone who belongs
to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.” – 2 Timothy 3:16-17



Your Word is all we have
To learn the sacred path
Chosen for us so long ago
Please show us the way to go
And teach our hearts to laugh

(Chorus)
O Lord the Bible is sacred
Its pages so precious and rare
In it your Word is concentrated
We find the Good News there.

It’s your Holy Spirit we trust
To open the Bible to us
For it is life’s meaning that we need,
And it is your Will that we are to heed
Lead us among the righteous.

(Chorus)
O Lord the Bible is sacred
Its pages so precious and rare
In it your Word is concentrated
We find the Good News there.

Within these pages old
The Truth of your love is told
How Christ was born and died,
Is risen and glorified.
May its words always cheer our souls.

Sometimes, after reading scripture all we can do is sing or write poetry. I share this with you today.
