The Bible Raised Poem by Gary James Smith

The Bible Raised

You probably have a Bible somewhere
Though it's seldom or never read
The devil will keep you from it friend
He'll say.... "do this thing instead"
But put that thought afar off
And get into the Word
A wealth of information there
That you probably haven't heard

Don't worry about religion
For this is none of that
It's about a wonderful relationship with God
And that is where it's at
How God Himself in human flesh
Came down to be the Son
Gave up His life for our sin
Each and every one

His shed blood sufficient
As payment for our sin
You can read about it in the Word
It's the best place to begin
Start first with the gospels
Mark... Matthew... Luke and John
Then onward to the book of Acts
You'll be surprised at what went on

How Jesus walked upon His earth
He knew every blade of grass
All the sand in the sea
Their beginnings and their last
The height of every mountain
To the umpteenth degree
Without even having a computer
Divinest Deity

And yes even more wonderful
Than all of that no less
As hard as it may be to believe
God came in human flesh
He partook of His creation
So that He could redeem
And show the world a love as such
As ever could be seen

And lifted up upon the Cross
That Cross of Calvary
God was reconciling by Christ
Sinner's! ... Like you and me
There the Word Himself raised
Then carried to the grave
Hallelujah death... NO MORE!
May Jesus Christ be praised!
