The Bible

By Robin Ulbredtch

The Bible is a book of love–
a guide for Christian life.
It’s the Word from God above
to let us know what’s right.

The Bible is a gift from God–
given to those He made.
It’s words help every situation
when God’s children do partake.

The Bible’s full of parables
that teach us wondrous lessons.
It’s full of information
to answer all our questions.

From the man with many talents
to the Sower spreading seed–
the Word of God is there
with the answers we need.

As we read many stories
of people with great faith–
we see God overcome their problems
and keep them warm and safe.

Through the stories of Noah’s ark
and Moses’ crossing the Red Sea–
and Esther helping many Jews–
God teaches you and me.

God’s Word brings true comfort
to all those who grieve.
It also protects us
from those who deceive.

The Psalms are very soothing
in times of great distress.
They bring much encouragement
to those who are depressed.

Revelation brings great hope
for the many years ahead.
Knowing Jesus is waiting in heaven
helps us face the test.

So let’s treasure God’s love letter
and read it every day.
It will give us faith and hope
when troubles come our way.

For what could be more hopeful
than a life free from sin?
And what could be more joyful
than time at home with Him?

For now I know this much–
God’s word is full of facts.
And no one can stop Jesus–
from taking us home at last!
