In Genesis, the world was made
In Exodus, the march is told
Leviticus contains the law;
In Numbers are the tribes enrolled.
In Deuteronomy again,
We’re urged to keep God’s law alone;
And these five Books of Moses make
The oldest holy writing known.
Brave Joshua to Canaan leads;
In Judges, oft the Jews rebel;
We read of David’s name in Ruth
And First and Second Samuel.
In First and Second Kings we read
How bad the Hebrew state became;
In First and Second Chronicles
Another history of the same.
In Ezra, captive Jews return,
And Nehemiah builds the wall;
Queen Esther saves her race from death.
These books “Historical” we call.
In Job we read of patient faith;
In Psalms are David’s songs of praise;
The Proverbs are to make us wise;
Ecclesiastes next portrays,
How fleeting earthly pleasures are;
The Song of Solomon is all
About true love, like Christ’s; and these
Five books “Devotional” we call.
Isaiah tells of Christ to come,
While Jeremiah tells of woe,
And in his Lamentations mourns
The Holy City’s overthrow.
Ezekiel speaks of mysteries;
And Daniel foretells kings of old;
Hosea over Israel grieves;
In Joel blessings are foretold.
In Amos, too, are Israel’s woes;
And Obadiah’s sent to warn;
While Jonah shows that Christ should die
And Micah where he should be born.
In Nahum Nineveh is seen;
Habakkuk tells of Chaldea’s guilt;
In Zephaniah are Judah’s sins;
In Haggai the Temple’s built.
Then Zechariah speaks of Christ,
And Malachi, his sign;
The prophets number seventeen,
And all the books are thirty-nine.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Tell what Christ did in every place;
The Acts tell what the Apostles did,
And Romans how we’re saved by grace.
Corinthians instruct the Church;
Galatians show us faith alone;
Ephesians, true love, and in
Philippians God’s grace is shown.
Colossians tells us more of Christ,
And Thessalonians of the end;
In Timothy and Titus both
Are rules for pastors to attend.
Philemon, Christian friendship shows.
Then Hebrews clearly tell how all
The Jewish law prefigured Christ;
And these Epistles are by Paul.
James shows that faith by works must live,
And Peter urges steadfastness;
While John exhorts to Christian love,
For those who have it God will bless.
Jude shows the end of evil men,
And revelations tells of Heaven.
This ends the whole New Testament
And all the books are twenty-seven. |

In Esther, He's Mordecai's courage
In Job, the timeless redeemer
In Psalms, He is our morning song
In Proverbs, wisdom's cry
Ecclesiastes, the time and season
In the Song of Solomon, He is the lover's dream
He is, He is, HE IS!
In Isaiah, He's Prince of Peace
Jeremiah, the weeping prophet
In Lamentations, the cry for Israel
Ezekiel, He's the call from sin
In Daniel, the stranger in the fire
In Hosea, He is forever faithful
In Joel, He's the Spirits power
In Amos, the arms that carry us
In Obadiah, He's the Lord our Savior
In Jonah, He's the great missionary
In Micah, the promise of peace
In Nahum, He is our strength and our shield
In Habakkuk and Zephaniah, He's pleading for revival
In Haggai, He restores a lost heritage
In Zechariah, our fountain
In Malachi, He is the son of righteousness rising with healing in His wings
He is, He is, HE IS!
In Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, He is God, Man, Messiah
In the book of Acts, He is fire from heaven
In Romans, He's the grace of God
In Corinthians, the power of love
In Galatians, He is freedom from the curse of sin
Ephesians, our glorious treasure
Philippians, the servants heart
In Colossians, He's the Godhead Trinity
Thessalonians, our coming King
In Timothy, Titus, Philemon He's our mediator and our faithful Pastor
In Hebrews, the everlasting covenant
In James, the one who heals the sick.
In First and Second Peter, he is our Shepherd
In John and in Jude, He is the lover coming for His bride
In the Revelation, He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords
He is, He is, HE IS!
The prince of peace
The Son of man
The Lamb of God
The great I AM
He's the alpha and omega
Our God and our Savior
He is Jesus Christ the Lord
and when time is no more
He is, HE IS!
