My Neighbor's Bible

My Neighbor’s Bible

I am my neighbor’s Bible
He reads me when we meet;
Today he reads me in my home –
Tomorrow on the street .
He may be relative or friend
Or slight acquaintance be ;
He may not even know my name ,
Yet he is reading me .

And pray ,who is this neighbor
Who reads me day by day ,
To learn if I am living right
And walking as I pray ?
O, he is with me always
To criticize or blame ;
So worldy–wise in his own eyes ,
And “sinner” is his name .

Dear Christian friends and brothers ,
If we could only know
How faithfully the world records
Just what we say and do,
O , we would write our record plain
And come in time to see
Our worldly neighbor won to Christ
While reading you and me ,
