"My Bible"


 
There is a Book more precious than anything on earth,
No wealth of gold or jewels can equal it on earth.

I go to it in trouble and though my heart is sore, 
It always gives me comfort.
I love it more and more.

I open to the pages--
To the Savior's words in red,
I see the Blood of Jesus upon the Cross He shed.

He tells me how He loves me, and how He makes me whole;
How He's prepared a place for me
And how He bought my soul.

And how He lives within me; and I am not alone; and how for my transgressions, 
none other can atone.

I find within its' pages sweet everlasting Iife 
Where I will dwell with Jesus, and 
rest from earthly strife.

My Bible is the written Word,
the Living Word is He,  
so my Bible and my Savior are much the same to me.

His Holy Spirit leads me,
His Word to understand;
So when I hold my Bible,
The Savior holds my hand.

I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back;

Though none go with me, 
I still will follow;
No turning  back,
No turning back.
