My Well Used Book

My well used book with all its frays,

From looks of it, seen better days.

The cover’s torn, but not forlorn,

Through truth of it, new life is born.

The verses marked, and dated, too,

For it’s been read now through and through.

It’s filled with hope and joy and peace,

For from our sins it gives release.

It teaches us to bow and pray,

To give our thanks to God each day.

It teaches us to live for Christ,

To follow Him, in truth, in life.

I love this book with all its frays,

It leads me now in Jesus’ ways.

It guides me in the way to go

So Jesus Christ I’d surely know.
