The Bible and The TV Guide

On the table side by side: the Holy Bible and TV Guide.

One is well worn but cherished with pride

(Sorry, it’s not the Bible, but the TV Guide).

are the Holy Bible and the TV Guide.

The plan of salvation is never heard.

Forgiveness of sins so full and free

Is found in the Bible, not seen on TV
