Read The Bible Once A Year

 

I have a message you need to hear:

Read the Bible at least once a year,

Make it a lamp for your feet, a light

for your path;

It will get you to heaven, and spare

you God’s wrath.

 

Read the words of Moses,

And read the Gospels through.

Read popular Revelation,

And obscure Amos, too.

 

If you are a Christian

Psalms will give your peace,

Proverbs will give you light.

The warnings of the prophets

Will set your heart aright.

 

If you’re not a Christian,

You need the Bible, too.

For it tells of Jesus,

Who died for you and me.

 

It also says He rose again,

And lives in heaven above.

But to be saved you must accept him

Who died for you in love.

 

There’s a message in the Bible for all,

If we will only hear.

So, be sure to read it through

Once very year.

 

This easily can be done

If you do what I say:

Read four of its chapters

Each and every day.

 

“But what translation should I read?”

I hear some ask.

“Making the right choice seems

A complex task.”

 

A simple answer

I will give to you:

The Old King James Version

Can be trusted through and through.

 

Since AD 1611

It’s been, put to test.

And till the end of time

It’ll remain the best.

 

So get yourself a copy

And begin to read today.

You will truly marvel at what

God’s Word has to say.
