If you are like me
I am sure you have a library
Filled with Bible commentaries-
Especially the ones that are free.
There are many Bible tools
You can find them on the Internet,
Tremendous Bible tools
And they are quite easy to get.
Some, you would need to buy
In other words, they are not free
But they are worth every cent,
I have quite a few, trust me.
Most of them are not expensive
And they can get the job done,
And what is even more attractive
There are quite a few to choose from.
There are prominent commentators
You can find in any library list
But here is something more important
That I don’t want you to miss.
Every commentator has his biases
Which impact his biblical views,
And sometimes we can be so mixed-up
We don’t know which one to choose.
But here is something I found out
And this was not very long ago,
I discovered the best Bible commentary
And I am excited to let you know.
I was tempted to make you guess
But this is too serious for that,
The Bible is its own best commentary
And I know for sure that’s a fact.
The Bible interprets itself
Better than any Bible commentary,
Just get a good cross reference facility
And in an instant, you will see.
Be able to trace any word
As it is used throughout the Bible,
Strong’s Hebrew and Greek Dictionary
Will make you better able.
No book interprets the Bible
As well as the Bible does for itself,
You have been reading all kinds of books
And forgetting it on your shelf.
These books are men’s interpretation
About what they read in the Word,
But what the Bible says about the Bible
Can never be proven absurd.
The Bible is its best interpreter
Scripture interprets scripture,
The Holy Spirit reveals God’s Word
And gives us the whole picture.
Jesus is the Word of God
The Holy Spirit is our Guide,
Concerning the best Bible Commentary
Now we all can decide.
Let me congratulate you
If you knew this fact before,
Let us both tell it to someone else
So they can know it for sure.
