The Bible is our book from God
In this our Christian land.
We place it on our bookshelves
And in our pastors’ hands.
Most people own a copy
With a leather-covered back.
But when it comes to reading it
We find there is a lack.
When people watch a Christian’s life
They see the things we do.
They read our actions like a book
And watch our dealings too.
They hear our words, they see our deeds,
They listen, watch and look.
Within our lives, through daily walk
They read God’s other book.
