There's a promise for tomorrow
written by the hand
Of someone far greater
than we could ever understand ~
A source of comfort, wisdom and strength
that we all search for,
Found within the pages
that were penned by our Lord.

The Bible is the answer
for the problems that we bear
With pages of solutions
and solace that's found there ~
No matter what your worries
there is no greater need
Than looking to the Bible
for the answers that you seek.

God is all-majestic
the wonder of His Word
Brings healing to the millions
who may have never heard ~
The answers they were searching
hoping they would find
A blessing so abundant,
handed down through time.

The comforting words of the Lord
penned by His own hand
Gives hope to the world who needs to know
that He will always understand ~
The solace found within the Psalms
written by a king
A man after God's own heart
who sought His comfort within.

The wise words of the Proverbs
speak into our hearts
Wisdom for which we always search
that many seek the stars ~
With the beauty of the Genesis
and the journey of Exodus
From Moses to Joseph to Abraham
God's message is clear to us.

From comfort to instruction
that came from God's own hand
Our ten laws for living
under His command ~
The power of His greatness
shining in His love
As His Holy Spirit descends on us
on the wings of a dove.

So open up your Bible
just seek and you will find
The answers for which you're searching
and comfort in those lines ~
The strength within His guidance
in the arms of His embrace
Just finding solace in His love
and everlasting grace.

When you're overwhelmed by worries
and don't know what to do
Just look to find the comfort
in God's everlasting Truth ~
For the pages on which they're written
may one day pass away
But the power of His words within
will always remain the same.

"This is a simple poem about the comfort found within God's Word.   While many think the Bible is just a book of do's and don'ts, or a storybook, or even an out-of-date historical book ~ the promise of God is that although the pages may pass away, His words within this Book will NEVER pass away....they will always remain.   And no matter how people colour them, or take it out of context, God's Word will always remain true.   Not our truth or their truth, but God's truth.   And within the pages are accounts that we can relate to in our every day, and there is wisdom to be found there.   And there is comfort and solace for which we search, but never seem to find.   God's comforting words will always remain.   They will always remain forever, they will always remain true, and they will always remain a comfort....forever."
