The Word

The Word
by Cheryl Campbell

The Words were written long ago
sent here for mankind to read.
Stories meant to show the way
lessons for all to heed.

But men are saying to ignore these Words
claiming they're way out of date.
They say the Book is full of myths
and that we control our own fate.

They pay no mind to the Truth that's told
and that each Word is coming to pass.
‘Old fashioned stories’ is all they cry,
unaware that the die has been cast.

The Good Book says that the wicked
will continue in their own way.
They’ll understand what they so choose
and ignore what God has to say.

Humans will ever be learning
knowledge will greatly increase.
But they’ll gather all those around them
who’ll only agree and not preach.

They will love themselves and money,
be ungrateful, unholy and more.
They’ll be too proud and boastful
to accept what God has in store.

He has given us a mind to choose
whether or not to open the door.
We can believe the Word is God-breathed
or we can decide to ignore.

Myself, I have chosen to give my heart
to the One who died for me.
I’ll fight the good fight and finish the race;
keep the faith, then with Him I’ll be.
