Dust on My Bible

Found my Bible again today, covered in dust there it lay
Maybe I should wipe it off open it and read?

Leather cover, paper page, and life’s living inside
Think I’ll dust it off open it and read?

If I read then I can change to the image Jesus gave
I believe I will pick it up open it and read.

Worked hard today it’s time to sleep another day I didn’t read
Tomorrow I will take the time open it and read.

Found my Bible a month away, covered in dust there I lay
When will I pick it up open it and read?

Jesus forgive, what can I say, covered in dust years away
Wish I’d dusted it, open it and read.
