God's Word Will Stay There
GOD’S WORD WILL STAY THERE
There amidst the rubble, saved from all the fire,
There amidst the chaos, saved from enemy’s ire
Was a book still open there upon a stool
Where someone had been sitting, reading of its rule.
It was not a textbook of some great warfare acts.
Nor was it a record of attendance facts.
It was not assembled with reports or such,
Yet it lay there open, lay there still untouched.
Closer came the workmen to the horror scene,
Awed then by its presence, quiet and serene.
Then when they approached it and they took a look,
What they saw was awesome--the title of the book.
HOLY BIBLE blazed there with its trim of gold,
Story ever precious, never growing old.
Never overcome by rubble or by fire,
Cannot be defeated by evil man’s desires.
There right where he left it; there still true and fair;
Heaven and earth will pass, yes; God’s word will stay there.
Inspired from a report received after the attack on the Pentagon, September 11, 2001.
