The Bible is a Love Letter
by Barbara Philbrook

The Bible is a love letter God wrote to us you see,
one to entice us Home with Him for eternity.

To explain He knew us before our conception,
to assure that His love holds no deception.

To acquaint us with all the facts, 
to teach us we must face the consequences of our acts.

To assure us He knew us each before creation began,
and are each part of His Great Master Plan.

Known so well He has count of the hairs on our head,
cared for so deeply He'll wipe each tear we shed.

Created in our Mother's womb,
watched over and provided for right through the tomb.

Loved so deeply He sent His Son to die on the cross,
so that not even one of us need be lost.

Listening for our petitions day and night,
wanting to fulfill each so as to give us delight.

More Love and devotion than any of us deserve,
and yet there are those who are filled with reserve.

Those who reject Him and what He offers to all,
if only they'd believe and on His name call.

Call out His most precious name accept His love,
then you too will spend eternity above.

Open the letter it explains it clearly to all,
then you'll understand and make that call.

The call which seals your destiny,
securing your salvation for eternity.

Read the letter share it with others,
then they too will become our brothers.

The Bible is His Love Letter direct from His heart,
to assure us He loved us right from the start.
