Bible Poems

Have you ever considered the idea of biblical poetry? The writers of the ancient texts (The Hebrews) regarded the written word to contain some, at least, poetic parts. However, are all the elements there? A quick blog post is perhaps not the best place to fully analyse. In addition, if you put bible poetry into any of the search engines you will also find poems ABOUT the bible. Can you think of any other book (written word) where there are poems about the book itself or the names within? I can't. Here is an example:

We've traveled together through life's rugged way
O'er land and o'er water, by night and by day:
To travel without it I never would try;
We keep close together, my Bible and I.

In sorrow I've proved it my comfort and joy,
When weak my strong tower which nought can
     destroy;
When death comes so near me 'tis thought I
     would die,
We still are together, my Bible and I.

If powers of evil against me would come,
And threaten to rob me of heaven and home,
God's Word then directs me to Him in the sky;
And nothing can part us, my Bible and I.

When evil temptations are brought to my view,
And I in my weakness know not what to do,
On Christ as my strength I am taught to rely;
And so we keep company, my Bible and I.

When life's path is ended; if Jesus should come
And take all his blood-purchased brethren home;
Or if, in long suffering, He waits till I die.
We'll never be parted, my Bible and I.

And when in the glory my Lord I behold,
With all His redeemed gathered safe in the fold,
My Bible and I close companions will be,
For God's Word abides for all eternity.
