PRIORITIES

This morning while reading some of my favorite blogs I read a very inspiring post at http://plainhomesteading.blogspot.com/. Her post today is titled "Cell Phones vs The Bible". Reading it made me stop and think about how much time I spend watching TV or on the computer and compare it to the time I spend with God and reading my Bible . I know I can do better and I intend to. While reading her post I was reminded of a gospel song titled "Dust On the Bible" written by Johnny Bailes and Walter Bailes. I thought I would share the lyrics to the song with you in case some of you have never heard it. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Dust On The Bible

I went to a home one day to see some friends of mine

Of all their books and magazines, not a Bible could I find

I asked them for the Bible when they brought it what a shame

For the dust was covered o’er it, not a finger print was plain

Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word

The words of all our prophets and the sayings of our Lord

Of all the other books you’ll find there’s none salvation holds

Get that dust off the Bible, and redeem your poor your soul

You can read your magazines, read of love and tragic things

But not one word of Bible verse, not a Scripture do you know

When it is the very truth, and its contents good for you

But if dust is covered o’er it, it is sure to doom your soul

Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word

The words of all our prophets and the sayings of our Lord

Of all the other books you’ll find there’s none salvation holds

Get that dust off the Bible, and redeem your poor your soul

If you have a friend you’d like to help along life’s way

Just tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to pray

The best advice to give him that will make his burden light

Is to dust the family Bible, trade the wrong way for the right

Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word

The words of all our prophets and the sayings of our Lord

Of all the other books you’ll find there’s none salvation holds

Get that dust off the Bible, and redeem your poor your soul
