OLD BUT NOT GONE!

 THERE WAS AN OLD PEN,

THAT FELL ON THE FLOOR,

IT WAS DRY OF INK,

IT COULD NOT WRITE ANYMORE.

THERE WAS AN OLD MAN,

WHO SAT UPON A CHAIR,

NOT ABLE TO WALK,

O, SO LONELY SITTING THERE;

BUT HE COULD READ HIS BIBLE,

AND SAY A PRAYER.

THERE WAS AN OLD LADY,

SHE WAS KNITTING SOCKS,

KNITTING FOR HER FAMILY,

UNTIL ONE DAY SHE WILL KNITS NO MORE;

BUT SHE WILL READ GOD'S WORDS,

AND PRAY FOR HER FAMILY EVERYDAY!

THERE IS AN OLD BIBLE, WORDS

FULL OF GOD'S GUIDING WORDS,

AND IT LIES OPEN ON THE TABLE,

IT'S WORDS POWERFUL AS PEOPLE READ,

YES, READ IT'S GUIDING WORDS EACH DAY,

TO KEEP OUR STEPS STABLE,

AS WE WALK  HIGHWAY!
