Book of Life – A Poem

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
