B is for Bible
Inspired Word
God-breathed
Teaching
Rebuking
Correcting
Training
Within its cover, stories
Rags to riches
The difficult quest
Rebirth
Overcoming
Comedy
Tragedy
The voyage and return
Within its stories, conflict
Man versus man
Versus God
Versus nature
Man versus self
Versus technology
Versus fate
Within its pages, images
A kingly authority
A warrior
A lowly peasant
A thief
Fire, clouds, storms at sea
Bread, wine, fish
A crown, a cross
And silver coins
The Word is Truth
The Word’s the Way
The Word is Life
The Word is His Story
History
Written for you
And for me
Holy Spirit
Breathe on me
Words of life
Loving
Encouraging
Healing
Serving
Holy Father
As I read
Help me see
And understand
And model
Teach me to write
And reach
Soli Deo Gloria
