13. 3 - The World’s Bible 3. What if our hands are busy
With other things than His?
What if our feet are walking
Where sins allurement is?
What if our tongues are speaking
Of things His life would spurn,
How can we hope to help Him
And welcome His return?

14. 2 - The World’s Bible 2. We are the only Bible
The careless world will read,
We are the sinners' gospel,
We are the scoffers' creed;
We are the Lord's last message
Given in deed and word,
What if the type is crooked?
What if the print is blurred?
