How to Use the Bible – by Katie Swank

my friends, Life can be heavy, you have a lot on your mind,
With so many answers, you’re trying to find.
The drama, the homework, the pressure to fit,
Sometimes you might feel like, you t want to quit?

remember, you hold a treasure, a book that can speak,
To give you fresh power whenever you’re weak.
It’s more than just stories of long, long ago—
It’s a map for your life and the troubles you know.

When you look at a screen, or the kids in the hall,
And comparison whispers that you are too small,
When you wish you were taller, or faster, or smart,
And a heavy, sad feeling creeps into your heart—
Turn the pages to Psalm 139, and you’ll see,
You are “wonderfully made” and as distinct as can be.
God formed every detail, your smile and your hair,
You don’t need to match them; you’re His special care.

Cause you hold a treasure, a book that can speak,
To give you fresh power whenever you’re weak.
It’s more than just stories of long, long ago—
It’s a map for your life and the troubles you know.
it’s the bible, god’s word is true
and his word gives you what to do
yes, the Bible, will give you
exactly what you need, it’s true!

When fear holds you back from the things you should try,
Like speaking out, or achieving a goal that is high,
When anxiety tells you to shrink and to hide,
Remember the Creator is right by your side.
Look up Joshua 1:9 when you’re scared,
“Be strong and courageous,” for you are prepared.
The Lord goes before you wherever you tread,
So shake off the worry and lift up your head!

Cause you hold a treasure, a book that can speak,
To give you fresh power whenever you’re weak.
It’s more than just stories of long, long ago—
It’s a map for your life and the troubles you know.
it’s the bible, god’s word is true
and his word gives you what to do
yes, the Bible, will give you
exactly what you need, it’s true!

When fights with your friends or your family start,
And sharp, angry words leave a sting in your heart,
When patience is thin and you want to strike back,
And kindness is something you feel that you lack—
Find Ephesians 4:32 for the cure:
“Be kind to each other,” keep attitudes pure.
Forgive one another, let bitterness go,
That’s how the deep love of Jesus will show.

Cause you hold a treasure, a book that can speak,
To give you fresh power whenever you’re weak.
It’s more than just stories of long, long ago—
It’s a map for your life and the troubles you know.
it’s the bible, god’s word is true
and his word gives you what to do
yes, the Bible, will give you
exactly what you need, it’s true!

For life can be hard, and the storms will roll in,
You won’t always ace it, you won’t always win.
But when you feel broken, or weary, or blue,
There’s a beautiful promise that’s waiting for you.
Open Philippians 4:13 and read,
“I can do all things through Christ,” He’s the strength that you need.
He’s your shield, He’s your comfort, your anchor and light,
With His Word in your hand, you will win every fight!

Yes! you hold a treasure, a book that can speak,
To give you fresh power whenever you’re weak.
It’s more than just stories of long, long ago—
It’s a map for your life and the troubles you know.
it’s the bible, god’s word is true
and his word gives you what to do
yes, the Bible, will give you
exactly what you need, it’s true!
