The Guide Book

On the table side by side, the Holy Bible and the TV guide.
One is well worn but cherished with pride - (not the bible, the TV guide)
One is used daily to help folks decide -
No it isn't the Bible, it's the TV guide.
As pages are turned, what shall we see -
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV
So they open the book in which they confide - (no not the Bible, it's the TV guide).
The work of God is seldom read, maybe a verse as they fall into bed, exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be.
Not from reading the bible, from watching TV.
So then back on the table side by side, is the Holy Bible and the TV guide.
No time for prayer, no time for the word,
The plan of salvation is seldom heard.
Forgiveness for sin so full and free, is in the BIBLE, not on TV!!
