I picked up an old book today
it was dusty, dirty, and frayed
I looked at the title, the name was the Bible,
and for so long untouched it did lay
I decided to open the good book
I committed to give it a look
Now my interest was woken on the words that were spoken
As I read my emotions were shook
I read about Adam and Eve
And a snake for which Eve was deceived
It became clear that sin was now here
I wonder how many believed
Read about Noah and the flood
And Abraham’s sacrifice of his son
I read about Moses and the commandments God poses
To all of His chosen ones
I read so much of God’s grievance
For the chosen had no allegiance
How could they not see the love offered thee
Instead they had only malfeasance
I pondered as I continued my reading
Through the Gospels which continued my feeding
For the love Jesus gave so that all may be saved
For salvation we are all needing
So I read the Book cover to cover
For in it I would no doubt discover
That an eternal life regardless of strife
Cannot be given by others
Accepting Jesus is only true way
Repent of your sins as soon as today
For Jesus made clear that the end could be near
In Jesus Christ’s name I pray
