God's Holy Word
by Barbara Philbrook

You know God never intended for us to fumble around in the dark,
He did not write us His Holy Word simply on a lark.

God's word is meant to show us the way,
it is a  map for our life so that we need not stray.

The Word is a guidebook on how we should live,
if we will consult it a survival maneuver for this world is what it will give.

The Word will teach us how important it is to pray,
why God loved us so much He even gave us an example of what to say.

The Word is a History Book so we may see the mistakes made by others,
and to document the fact that we are all Sisters and Brothers.

The Word tells us of the creation story,
and offers us hope by inviting us each to partake in  Salvation's Glory.

The Word is the evidence that Jesus as a human came here to live,
and proof that because of His Crucifixion "Salvation" is a gift He can give.

The Word offers us Grace, Faith, and Salvation for evermore,
and all that we must do is open our heart's door.

The Word was not individually discovered by  you or me,
no The Word was written and meant to be seen by those called on intentionally.

God knew who would open His Word before this world began,
why he even knew the names of those who would so much as hold it in their hand.

So if you are feeling inquisitive or drawn to God's Holy Word even just a bit,
open it and begin digesting so that you may devour all of it.

The Word if well hidden deep within your heart,
will from the very depth of sins deprivations  keep you far apart.
