" Forever, O Lord. . . "

The Bible Lives. . . .


Generation follows generation - yet it LIVES.
Nations rise and fall– yet It LIVES.
Kings, dictators, rulers come and go– yet It LIVES.
Torn, condemned, burned– yet It LIVES.
Hated, despised, cursed– yet It LIVES.
Doubted, suspected, criticized– yet It LIVES.
Scoffed at by scorners– yet It LIVES.
Misconstrued and misstated– yet It LIVES.
Ranted and raved about– yet It LIVES.
Its inspiration denied– yet It LIVES.
Yet It LIVES– as a lamp to our feet.
Yet It LIVES– as a light to our paths.
Yet It LIVES– as the gate to Heaven.
Yet It LIVES– as a standard for childhood.
Yet It LIVES– as a guide for youth.
Yet It LIVES - an inspiration for the matured.
Yet It LIVES - comfort for the aged.
Yet it LIVES - food for the hungry.
Yet It LIVES - water for the thirsty.
Yet It LIVES - strength for the weary.
Yet It LIVES - as light for the heathen.
Yet It LIVES - as salvation for the sinner.
Yet It LIVES - as grace for the believer.
To know it is to love it.
To love it is to accept it.
To accept it means life eternal.

"Forever, O LORD thy word is settled in Heaven." ~ Psalm 119:89
