Line By Line
by Michael Doyle
Scripture, being God breathed
Is to save us from being deceived
Every word is for our training
Ever toward righteousness as we are reading
Reading the Bible filled with our trust
Paying attention as we surely must
The names listed provide more than genealogy
Tracing back to God in truest theology
Each sign or hint of apparent difference
Should be examined closely with reverence
Great things are sometimes given in summarization
And without diminishment given explanation
Quite faithfulness has its eventual payout
Keeping true even where there might be doubt
Doing life as nobly right gets its due respect
Not be put aside in benign neglect
The things in front of us are more important
Then we know and to be cherished with sentiment
Character is lived line after familial line
Revealing as it does, those things which are divine
