The Words of Life - A Poem

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 
The Words of Life - A Poem
 
I see an old Bible, wrinkled and worn
 
When it is preached, faith can be born
 
The Sinner's heart melts, the work is done
 
Faith grabs hold, the faith-walk has begun
 
Hearing is granted, obedience resides
 
To Christ flees the saint, in His presence He abides
 
The Bible is alive, its words are breathing force
 
In its hearing weak faith is strengthened
 
Resolve resumes its course
 
The saint faces trials, the Bible in his hand
 
Eyes raised heavenward, on God's word He does stand
 
Pages stained with tears, the Bible is a friend
 
Its truth unchanged, broken hearts it can mend
 
The Spirit speaks forth, pointing the way
 
See the Living Savior, become His today
 
Worn it may be, the words are timeless and true
 
Open your Bible and take in what God speaks to you
