✞The Dusty Old Book✞

. A dusty, musty Book lies there On the bookshelf by my chair; Long forgotten and untouched (certainly not cared for much) For years unopened and unread; God's Living Word; our Daily Bread. . I dust it off and turn the cover, Inside is writ 'With love from Mother'. Intrigued I turn page after page And read about a long-lost age; A time before the world began When angels fought and fell and sang. . Then the Great Creator made All that exists: the man and maid. Their sin doomed those who were born after; Sweat and tears instead of laughter. Evicted from their fruitful home; Satan left loose to rule and roam. . People turned away from God - As a result they felt His rod; Repenting just to sin again Returning every now and then; But though they were twelve faithless clans God loved them 'cause of Abraham. . A promise made; foretold of old, A covenant kept; the Savior sold For silver with a traitor's kiss And Blood that flowed because of this. The veil was torn; men are reborn Earning on Earth the lost souls' scorn. . The Lamb of God enthroned on High Will one day meet men in the sky To take them to a better place Where they will see Him face to Face; Then comes the dreaded Judgment Day Of those who lost the Only Way. . The Book teaches all this, and more; What is, will be and came before. Don't do what I did; it was wrong Please read your Bible; don't wait long - The message of God's Word's profound: Search for Him while He may be found.
