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
