Holy Book

IF ONE SHOULD WRITE A HOLY BOOK
SHOULD YOU NOT TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK
AT WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THOSE PAGES
HANDED DOWN THROUGHOUT THE AGES.

IF EVERY LINE AND VERSE IT BEARS
REVEALS TO YOU HOW MUCH GOD CARES
WOULD YOU JUST SIMPLY LAY IT DOWN
OR WOULD YOU SPREAD THE WORD AROUND.

NOT ONLY HOW CHRIST DIED FOR SIN
THAT ALL MAY NOW BE BORN AGAIN
BUT AFTER EVERYTHING WAS SAID
HOW GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD.

AND GAVE HIM POWER TO DO THE SAME
FOR ALL WHO CALL UPON HIS NAME.

RICHARD A PALMER
