You Are The Bible

As you live in this ole world each day, what do you represent?

Do people see a heavenly saint, or something the devil sent?

No matter wherever you go, or no matter what you do,

Be careful how you act my friend, folks are watching you.

 

They’ll want to know if you’re for real or a hypocrite,

Even though they are not saved, a fake they’ll not permit.

You must profess the love of Christ to those who are in such need,

If you show instead your worldly ways, they’ll slay you quick indeed.

 

The Bible on earth, God’s the living word, printed for all to read,

It describes the way to conduct yourself, the words you’d better heed.

When you get angry and people see that you’re treating others badly,

Do you think they want the Lord and will accept Him gladly?

 

I guarantee they’ll walk away saying they don’t need salvation,

Because the way they see you act they don’t need the aggravation.

They think your life is as bad as theirs; how can your way be the best?

If you’re not acting right they’ll see that you’re like all the rest.

 

If you were them would you want to read a book that had bad things to say?

Or would you want to read the Bible itself and learn of the perfect way?

That perfect way is Jesus Christ, a plan for all creation,

He died on the cross for you and me and to give us all salvation.

 

They are are supposed to see that you’re like Christ and living a life that’s pure,

Instead they see you’re living a lie without the hope that does endure.

A hope that comes from Jesus Christ and blessings that comes from prayer,

Blessings that mend a broken heart and provide a love so rare.

 

Do folks want to read horrible books with stories about bad days?

Or do you think they’d read a heavenly book  that told of the perfect way?

The perfect way is Jesus Christ; do you let His light shine through?

To tell the story of a sacrifice with everything you do.

 

Your life’s a story that’s written in blood, the blood of Jesus Christ,

Let it write His words onto your heart  and live His sacrifice.

If you’re a Christian God’s desire for you  is to show your light each day,

That light on earth is the word of God, "cause you are always on display."

 

God’s written word really tells us all how to live and how to pray,

It tells us how to walk and act and even what to say.

So my friends  please heed these words, I’m sure you will agree,

You might be the only Bible someone may ever see.
