The Books of the Bible
The Bible consists of parts of two
testaments, old and new
In the old the first five
are law books of the Mosaic tribe
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy
and then we have the next twelve books of History
Joshua, Judges and Ruth
Samuel, Kings and Chronicles two books each no lesser
Ezra, Nehemiah and then Esther
Five books of Poetry also belong
Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon
Five major Prophets are written in Detail
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel and Daniel
Twelve minor Prophets of lesser fame
and here are all twelve of those names
Hosea, Joel, Amos and Obediah
Jonah, Michah, Nahum, Habakkuk and Zephaniah
Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi
Now without further ado
we'll go into the testament new
the Four books of the Gospel names are not very long
they're simply known as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
One book of Historical facts
the title of that book is known as Acts
Thirteen books of the Epistles of Paul
let me catch my breath a second, now we're in the long haul
Romans, Corinthians 1&2, Galatians
Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians
Thessalonians and Timothy 1&2, Titus and Philomen
Now we have the next Eight
General Epistles and they're really great
Hebrews, James, Peter 1&2
John has 3 and then there's Jude
The last book of Testamentation
is the Prophecy of Revelations
The Books of the Bible total sixty-six
so study the Word and get your spiritual fix
