THE BIBLE AND TELEVISION Oh, Lord, I love to read the Bible; It's teachings fill me with delight. But I'm watching television; My favorite program's on tonight! I read it for my own upbuilding; I need it to lead my steps aright. Tomorrow night I'll read a chapter, but television's good tonight! No other book is like the Bible, So free from sin's corroding blight, I must take time to read it more often, But television's good tonight! Perhaps I'll read it just a moment Between a wrestling match or fight. I need more time for meditation, But television's good tonight! Some nights I'm somewhat dissapointed; The picture isn't very bright; And then I read, just rest, or visit; But it's coming in just fine tonight! That Bible slightly hurts my conscience, Upon the shelf there in my sight. It tells me I have been neglectful; I'll try to read tomorrow night! Sometime I'll really read the Bible; I'll study, too, with all my might; Sometime, perhaps, when television Is not so good as it is tonight. - Unknown From Jack Exum's "For All Things Are Yours".
