The Purpose of Holy Scripture

We've all got favorite Bible texts
ones we hopefully can bring to mind
each day we may read a Bible passage
hoping for a hidden gem we'll find

But what good does the Bible do?
in our busy lifes so very full
do we really take the time to study?
has it a prominent place to truly rule?

God's holy word has a divine purpose
to be a revolutionary master book
so our life's are so really effected
making us realise it needs be shook

The purpose of holy scripture
is so it will make a change
in our lifes to be so different
positively transforming out of range

God's holy authoritative inerrant book
this is holy spirit's means of impact
working in and through us to be godly
for God's glory this is biblical fact

Quote:
("It's not hard to take well known Scriptures lightly. Sure we've heard and read them. We might even be able to rattle them off quickly. But the Bible wasn't meant to become familiar to us - it was meant to change our lives.)
