The Bible Lives!

The Bible -- It Lives! 

By O. Wood (The Bible Friend)

Adapted by Mark O. Wilson

Generations follow generations – yet it lives.

Nations rise and fall – yet it lives.

Kings, dictators, presidents come and go – yet it lives.

Torn, condemned, burned – yet it lives.

Hated, despised, cursed – yet it lives.

Doubted, suspected, criticized – yet it lives.

Scoffed at by scorners – yet it lives.

Exaggerated by fanatics – yet it lives.

Misconstrued and misstated – yet it lives.

Ranted and raved about – yet it lives.

Its inspiration denied – yet it lives.

Yet it lives – as a lamp to our feet.

Yet it lives – as a light to our paths.

Yet it lives – as a standard for childhood.

Yet it lives – as a guide for youth.

Yet it lives – as an inspiration for midlife.

Yet it lives – as a comfort for the aged.

Yet it lives – as food for the hungry.

Yet it lives – as water for the thirsty.

Yet it lives – as rest for the weary.

Yet it lives – as light for the nations.

Yet it lives – as salvation for the sinner.

Yet it lives – as grace for the believer.

To know it is to love it.

To love it is to live by it.

To live by it means eternal life.
