WHAT DOES THE BIBLE MEAN TO ME

What does the Bible mean to me?
How does it change my life?
It is the path to the truth
Leading me out of strife

It is the balm for my wounds
That life inflicts on me
It is the hope for tomorrow
And the truth that sets me free

It tells me who my refuge is
Under whose wings I can hide
It tells me who will help me
And when I ask, with my soul will abide

It is a detailed map
It covers all possible ground
It is a light unto my path
It helps the lost be found

It is a love story for the ages
Written by my Creator
To tell me of His love
And point me to my Saviour

It tells the story of His life
And how He taught us to live
It tells how to triumph over sin
And of His Kingdom to arrive

What is the Bible to me?
It is more than just a book
It helps me live my life
It is Life Eternal’s handbook

NOT ASHAMED

I am not ashamed
(whether or not it's wise)
To claim Jesus as my LORD
As I look to the skies

For a day is coming
When believing is a crime
And our lives could be forfeit
With no reason or rhyme

Even now in some parts
It's not wise to let others know
For there are so many
Who are His ardent foes

We have brothers and sisters
Who live in pagan countries
They are persecuted and killed
Because of others theologies

But they do not count the cost
Just the same as Jesus did
They truly live for Christ
And do as He has bid

So let us with Jesus
Not ashamed or counting the cost
As we live and work for Him
Bringing the Gospel to the lost
