Disappearing Bible

Words were only written for the living Words will be unknown to the dead Words are sounds only to be heard Without ears how will one hear Without sight how will one see Without memory how will one think The Bible will disappear The soul will bring life within The soul captures your spirit The soul is life from empty words Without the soul light is dark Without the soul you lose sight Without the soul there is no life Place not these words into the mind Place these words into the heart Place thy spirit into the soul Let the Bible die so you may know For the Bible is only paper with binding For the Bible are only words unspoken For it is you who brings life to it People place the Bible above people People bring life through it’s words People are the ones who keeps his words For without people the Bible is lost, Your salvation depends on the living Lose not sight of Gods Children Those showing you the way to life

Interesting angle here, Bobby. I think that without the people, the words are valueless. But if/when the people are ready to receive the Wisdom, then the Words are alive and the Bible is a living Bible. ~ Just sayin,' Gershon
