They lie on the Tableside by side; The Holy Bible and the TV guide.

One is well worn and cherished with pride; No not the Bible, but the TV guide.

As the pages are turned, what shall they see; Oh, What does it matter turn on the TV.

So they open the book in which they confide; No not the Bible the TV guide.

The word of God is seldom read; Maybe a verse before they fall into bed.

Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be; Not from reading the Bible, from watching T.V.

So then back to the table side by side; Lie the Holy Bible and the T.V. Guide.

No time for prayer, no time for the word; The plan of salvation is seldom heard.

But forgiveness of sin, so full and free; Is found in the Bible, not on the T.V.
