My Bible

Whether it's a note or coffee stains you find
In my bible where I spend a lot of time,
It has within a lot of thoughts and memories
My bible is personal and what's in it is mine.

It's a # 1 best seller all over the world
The message belongs to all who will read,
It contains a guide for your daily living
I know one thing, it's what I need.

I don't like to miss a day reading God's word
I just want to please Him in every way,
Lord, I just thank you for all that I have
And God,I need you beside me every day.

It gets dreary for me sometimes
Especially when it is bad weather,
But I know nothing will happen to me today
That God and I can't handle together.

If it's a coffee stain there, it must be good
Coffee stains didn't hurt it at all,
That's okay, I can still read the words
And he still hears me when I call.

I get engrossed when I'm in God's word
So you may see a circle where my cup has been,
And you may see a promises underlined
Hopeful this bible will be passed to my kin.

I wouldn't write in my bible like that
That's what some people have said to me,
But I like little notes on my margin
So when I turn the pages I can see.

Coffee stains on what ever I read
I guess you can say it's my signature,
Just because my pages are worn
It doesn't mean the word is impure.

A little star or a flower here and there
Just something to draw my attention to,
I love to read God's word, it's real
And I sure hope that you do.
