Books are made of mere paper,
Grammatically smeared with ink.
They can be destroyed by fire,
Or by water, one might think.
But there is a Book whose words,
Transcending cover and page,
Will survive catastrophe,
Outlasting the latest age.

“Take Time to Be Holy”
Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.
Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret, with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, [...]

In August of nineteen seventy-two,
A new school started for you, and you.
In northern Ohio (fairest of states),
With textbooks, paper, and pencils, brand new,
(Erasers soon showed a trillion mistakes.)
That building remade with paint and a brush,
At eight-thirty (What?) stilled to a meek hush.
Green, young students (the intelligent sort),
Closed the gap from May with such a mad [...]

He went into the temple
Where you’d think one could look up.
But his attitude was humble,
He saw “dregs” in his cup.
He asked God for mercy;
He beat upon his chest,
Called himself a sinner
(Not better than the rest).
He cast his eyes downward,
They sought the lowly ground.
But God, who measures all things:
The simple, the [...]

“The Bible Stands” (stanza 1 & refrain)
The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
’Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.
Refrain
The Bible stands though the hills may tumble,
It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will plant my feet on its firm foundation,
For the Bible [...]

If we had no Bible of our own,
Tradition, previous men have sown,
Could matter more to us, today.
Praise God, we have His fine, precious Book,
Each of us must study, as we look
Daily, learning the holy way. -eab, 10/28/08
