More Than Just a Good Book

I know the Bible is an old book, but this book is eternally ageless,
It has stood the test of time, and its words continue to bless,
Lessons to learn, which are beautifully taught, and also lessons to live by,
But the best lesson that I have learned, is the reason Jesus had to die,
For He came to earth of His own free will, to create salvation’s plan,
We need to know why His blood flowed, so that He could save every man,
Yet He still gives us a free choice, eternal death or life to choose,
And if you make the wrong one, you my friend will lose,
You’ll find yourself in a sinner’s hell, because of all your sins,
When you could have been forgiven, if only you had believed in Him,
So just get out that old book, the Bible, for all of its stories are true,
And at the end of it you’ll learn, about Jesus building a Heavenly mansion just for you.
