Analysis of The Bible.
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
What's the bible?
Just another book.
Words of the wise?
Maybe gobbledegook.
Seems like a fable,
Some hard to understand.
Never out of publication,
Best seller in the land!
Power that's been wielded,
For better, and for worse.
Known through the millennium,
As a blessing and a curse.
If all was created just by His word,
Could this be the power,
The source that saves the world.
They wait in anticipation,
For the coming of the King.
I am here: In the pages,
I am covering your sin.
For now it may be hidden,
But if He opens up your eyes,
His Spirit that is given,
Will humble those once wise.
The Bible: Is it the book for everyone?
Well, if you get the call,
You may find truth and meaning,
In the greatest love of all.
