My Neighbor's Bible
I am my neighbor's Bible;
He reads me when we meet
Today he reads me in my home;
Tomorrow in the street.
He may be relative or friend;
Or slight acquaintance be;
He may not even know my name;
Yet he is reading me.
Dear Christian friends and brothers,
If you could only know
How faithfully the world records
Just what we say and do,
Oh! We would make our record plain,
And labor hard to see,
Our wordly neighbors won to Christ,
While reading you and me.
