I found an old, old Bible\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tucked away with other books.<\/span><\/p>\n

within its pages \u2014 so I looked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But upon the faded pages<\/span><\/p>\n

were gifts beyond man\u2019s wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

The words told a wondrous story<\/span><\/p>\n

A time I\u2019d never seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

A cross with blood upon it,<\/span><\/p>\n

a Man who died for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d find possessions<\/span><\/p>\n

Searching that forgotten nook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead I found my Lord and Savior<\/span><\/p>\n

hidden in a dusty book.<\/span><\/p>\n
