My Bible

The Bible is my Friend.
And when I am worn,
I lay it on my lap,
Or hold it in my arms.

I place it ‘neath my pillow
When I am tired and weary.
Just to feel Its presence
Makes my heart cheery.

The Bible is a Gem—
Rare and precious too.
The claims that It makes,
No one else can do.

The Bible is my Friend,
And will always be.
My heart shall ever cherish
God’s Promises to me.
