Turn A Page
Turn a page to hear a voice
Of One who helps us make a choice.
Call upon His name this hour
Be saved by His grace and power.
Turn a page to read some more
Of golden gates beyond a door
A door still open for those in need
Of sins forgiven and being freed.
Pages flow perfectly into each other
Encouraging us to love one another.
Turn another, ponder and read
And on His Word, begin to feed.
Living words will take hold
Granting us faith to then be bold…
Bold enough to honor His book
That draws us deeper for another look.
God writes upon each seeking heart
And changes us to become a part
Of His family joined with holy love
Who are entered into His book above.
Seeds of faith are found on each page
Planted in souls throughout each age.
Golden pages help us to see
The glory of eternity.

Psalm 119:140

therefore thy servant loveth it.
