A Woman of the Word
By Gail Burton Purath
The Bible wore her imprint
Its cover soft from use
The pages rubbed and wrinkled
The binding coming loose
And even if this Christian
And her Bible were apart
She still would have it with her
Hidden in her heart
Oh make me such a woman, Lord
Who hungers to be fed
Who cherishes a line from You
More than her daily bread
And when my days are over
May this be my epitaph
She longed to spend more time with Him
And now is doing that.
