Reading while I eat,
The Lord brings
A sweet message to me.

Open up the Bible,
As I sit at the table
Of silence.

I drown my brain
In nothing but
His word of love
And faith.

As I read what is in ink,
I start to tear up
Right there in front
Of my daily meal,

That the father created
And prepared to
Nourish our hungry
Bodies.

Reading as I eat
Learning what the
Father God has to say
And preach
Over ones life today.

As I come across
A scripture of confusion,

I get down on my knees
And pray to the Holy
Spirit of love every time
I can't understand
Or even see

What the father Jesus
Is really saying to me.

Reading while I eat
I'll always eat the
Words of hope
Right off of my
Plate of peace.
