The Bible

Since I began reading God's word 
I've come to a definite conclusion 
It doesn't matter what I've heard 
It puts and end to all confusion 

Everyone reads every now and then 
For current events or just a good story line 
Man has an insatiable appetite for sin 
And such an ignorance of the Divine 

The bible is mans handbook to godly living 
It states his beginning as well as his end 
Showing him blessings in the art of giving 
As well as the price paid for his sin 

It gives him a peace the world doesn't know 
Shows him life from a godly perspective 
Carries him places the flesh dare not go 
In serving God who's jealous and protective 

The bible shows man those things he's entitled to 
Placing power in his hands 
Man learns what he's assigned to do 
And how to follow God's commands 

It holds the answers to creation and death 
Along with sin and salvation 
How the soul was born from God's breath 
And the establishment of the Earth's foundation 

Let's us know what we must do to be saved 
By pointing to Jesus the human sacrifice 
It satisfies what the soul always craved 
As well as the methods Satan uses to entice 

The day when all isms are put to rest 
A reward for those who have not budged 
Though some set out in complete protest 
They set themselves up to be judged 

Read the bible for your own enrichment 
You can't hold others liable 
For God has a definite intent 
And all this is in the bible

I generally avoid holiday and/or religious poems. But for some reason I clicked on yours and I can only smile. This was a very clear, to the point, and accurate piece. I greatly enjoyed reading it Ronnie.
