எது கை கொடுக்கும்?

 






 எது  கொடுக்கும்?
 எது  கெடுக்கும்?

They lie on the table, side by side,
The Holy Bible and  the TV    guide.
One is well worn and cherished with pride,
No, not the  Bible, but the TV guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide,
No, not the  Bible but the TV guide.
As the pages are turned, what shall they see?
Oh what does it matter, turn on the TV.

Then confusion reigns, they can't all agree,
On what they should watch on the old TV.
So they open the book in which they confide:
No, not the  Bible, but the TV guide.
The word of God is seldom read,
May be a verse as they fall into bed,
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Bible, but from watching TV.

So then back on the table side by side,
Lie the Holy  Bible and the TV guide.
No time for prayer, no time for the word,
The plan of salvation is seldom now heard.
But forgiveness of sin, so full and free,
Is found in the Bible, not on the TV.
