The Book in the Box by Brenda Drake

I woke up this morning with the words the book in the box.  My Lord reminded me of a long ago memory tucked away in my heart. How I love my Lord and i am very thankful I found the truth that set my soul free.

The Book in the Box

Perhaps you remember seeing as a child the book in the box;
Some even had on the front a little lock.
The box was pretty and a little out of reach on the shelf,
But one day you figured out,
How it opened up to behold,
The pretty black book with edges of gold.
It looked very new even though,
It was probably quite old.
It when opened had few pictures inside,
Little did you know the precious message unread inside.
The words were many but seemed strange at the time;
Some were written in red with a few underlined.

The book in the box is all I knew it to be,
Until one day my eyes were opened to see.
It wasn’t just the box that drew me to the shelf that day,
It was Father God leading me to the Way.
The words within the pages I devoured,
But I found the words written in red to me held special power.
Oh how I love the book that lies out of the box now.
I can hardly wait to before the author of it all in thanks and praise bow

2 Peter 1:12
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
