The Bible & the T.V. Guide.
They lie on the table, side by side:
The Holy Bible & the T.V. Guide.
One is well worn, but cherished with pride -
{Not the Bible, but the T.V. Guide.}
One is used daily to help folks decide.
{No, not the Bible, it's the T.V. Guide.}
As the pages are turned, what shall they see,
Oh, what does it matter? .....Turn on the T.V.
Then confusion reigns, they can't all agree
on what they shall watch on the old T.V....
So they open the book in which they confide -
{No, not the Bible...... it's the T.V. Guide.}
The Word of God is seldom read,
Maybe a verse e'er they fall into bed -
Exhausted & sleepy & tired as can be,
Not from reading the Bible,
But from watching T.V.
So, then back to the table, side by side
Lay the Holy Bible & the T.V. Guide.
No time for prayer....No time for the Word,
The plan of salvation is seldom heard....
BUT FORGIVENESS OF SIN SO FULL & FREE
IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE.........NOT ON T.V...
