Time Was Poem by Esther Thornburg

Time was when:
Gods words were learned the spoken way
By those who came by to tell the story
Of the Saviour who came from glory.

Time was when:
The nations were given the written word
That in this world, they may learn and believe
The Son of God came for believers and eternal life gave.

Time is now:
God's words travel the airways to the computer screen
That we may live life pure and clean,
Comprehend their meaning and real truth glean.

Time is now:
Seek His message pure and true.
Evaluate God's true and living way.
His spirit can live within, be complete in Him.
