Book of Life – A Poem
By Dudley M. Harris
Your Word, O Lord, is like a
bottle of ink.
My tongue is as the writer’s
quill
When dipped into the inkwell
deep
Words on my life-page become
Your will
Chapter by chapter You write
with ease
Weaving a master tale
Each noun and verb like
poetry
The protagonist cannot fail
When the leading role seems
headed for loss
You quickly come to guide
With effortless power
restoring his hope
Again safe in Your love to
abide
Page by page the biography
morphs
From the story of just a man
As the subject is changed,
from glory to glory
All according to His plan
Each day the image becomes
ever clear
That of the only Begotten
The Author has the same
story in mind
For every single person
With the final verse
written, the story thus told
I stand at the Master’s feet
Amazed at the life you’ve
given me
In Jesus, now complete
