GOD'S HOLY WRIT
If you want to know of the creation
And of how this earth began,
Just read the Book of Genesis
Then you will understand.
If you like to read of heroes
The adventures of some great man
Read all of the Old Testament
Imagine being there, if you can.
There's Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers
Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges and Ruth,
Yes, there were great women too.
You'll find this is the truth.
First and Second Samuel, First and Second Kings.
First and Second Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah,
Esther and the man called Job,
Who suffered Satan's fury, yet was faithful to God's Word
Now the Psalms, the praises of David
Will bless you o'er and o'er.
The Book of Proverbs, you must read
As a guide to bless you more.
Ecclesiastes, Solomon, read Isaiah,
That's a must.
Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, then Daniel
Who was a true man of trust.
Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah;
Don't give up, keep reading on,
Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai
The best is yet to come.
After Zechariah and Malachi, you'll see
The Son of God was born.
As you travel the New Testament,
You'll learn how He faced scorn.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
Tell the life of Christ, our King.
How He lived and died to set man free
From fear of anything.
The Acts of the Apostles and Romans
Corinthians, one and two,
As you study these and act on them
You'll find wisdom come to you.
Galatians, Ephesians,Philippians,
Colossians, Thessalonians, one and two,
First and Second Timothy
Will also enlighten you.
Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James
First and Second Peter, the three books of John,
Teach us, if we will heed them
What to do when things go wrong.
Jude, then last we sum it all
With the Book of Revelation.
The book that tells of Satan's fate
And the fate of all God's creation.
So if you want adventure
You'll find it all right here,
In the pages of God's Holy Writ,
Are words of love and cheer.
You'll find you have no cause to fear,
When God's spirit lives in you.
So every day just praise Him
In everything you do.
