The Grand Old Book

The Grand Old Book I love to read;
Is the only Dear Book I will ever need.

It is the Blessed Book that guides me along;
This Sacred Book fills my heart with a song.

As I read this Precious Book to the end;
I listen for the messages God is trying to send.

This Inspired Book has no errors within;
And this Soul-convicting Book will keep me from sin.

My Treasured Book tells me how to live a holy life;
And commands me to keep from sinful strife.

In this Ancient Book I will meditate day and night;
For this Soul-saving Book I will always fight.

What is this Preserved Book, you ask of me?
It has pages that assure us of eternity.

This Grand Old Book is God's Holy Word,
I will hold this Book up as my Shining Sword.


This Precious Book is the King James Bible - 1611

I have read the King James Bible from cover to cover many times and have always learned something new with each read. It has also inspired me to write, if you have time CK out "The Lords Prayer" and "My Prayer" not advertising thought you might enjoy. Loved this one.
