You’ve heard somebody say it. Or maybe you’ve said it. Or something like it. Something like this, “Well, back in the Bible days _______” Fill in the blank. Sound familiar? Don’t feel bad. Because just about everybody’s said something like that at some time or another. But guess what?
You and I live in the Bible days.
Unless you’re someone who’s fallen for wacky ideas like the tribulation has already happened, your life is part of God’s book. Yeah. And you’re even mentioned in that book. Well, maybe not directly. But certainly indirectly.
A few years ago, when I was the music leader in a Denver, Colorado metro area church, I wrote a song about it. Because our pastor mentioned it in his sermon one Sunday. And these lyrics explain what to do, pretty well…
These Are The Bible Days
I’m no prophet, but God can work through me.
Willing servants are all He wants to see.
We can learn from the past…
The apostles, and all of their ways,
But we live in the here and now, and these”.are the Bible days.
Lord, our small hearts are full of love from You.
Help us know what You’d rather have us do.
Help the sheep hear Your call in this world that’s so full of strays.
As it was when Your Son arose; still these”are the Bible days.
When darkness falls”These are the Bible days.
Temptation calls”These are the Bible days.
When right is wrong”These are the Bible days.
The weak get strong”These are the Bible days.
Till every mountain sways, till every debtor pays,
Till every helpless, hopeless, sinner prays”
These”are the Bible days.
There’s no difference when going first to last.
Lord we need you like generations passed.
Give us strength for this life and help us always focus our gaze
With our eyes on the Prize because these”
Are the Bible days.
Chorus
These”are the Bible days.
These”are the Bible days.
