The Bible sings a better way: a peaceful world, a just reward, a shameless faith, a hopeful day, a silent night, the Christ adored. The Bible tells us who we are and how God's love would have us live, with stories of a guiding star, a trip to take, a gift to give. The Bible shows the Spirit's heart with images that shape and form, with prophet's word and poet's art, with cross and cradle, calm and storm. The Bible touches mind and soul with human language we can feel; the Word comes from our Source and Goal to heal the hurt we would conceal. The Bible sings creation's glee when love and truth were first expressed: let there be light, the earth, the sea, a child to teach us we are blessed.
