The Bible – A Poem

The Bible

 
What could we do without the Book
That God gave us to read?

A mooring in the storms of life,

A stronghold for the soul,

God’s love is like a fortress

And we seek protection there,

When the waves of tribulation

Seem to drown us in despair,

God’s love is like… Continue reading →
