RIDDLE
- "WHO AM I?"
The answer
is one word.
It appears only four times in the Bible
Now,
Adam, God did make of dust,
But thought it best to make me first.
So I was made prior to man,
To answer God's most holy plan.
A living
being I became,
And Adam gave to me my name.
I from His presence then withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.
I did
my Maker's law obey,
Nor ever went from it astray.
Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on the earth appear
For purpose wise which God did see,
He put a living soul in me.
A soul
from me God then did claim,
And took from me that soul again.
So when from me the soul had fled,
I was the same as when first made.
And without hands, or feet, or soul,
I travel on from pole to pole.
I labor hard by day, by night.
To fallen
man I give great light.
Thousands of people, young and old
Will by my death, great light behold.
No right nor wrong can I conceive,
The scriptures I cannot believe.
Although
therein my name is found,
They are to me but empty sound.
No fear of death doth trouble me.
Real happiness I'll never see.
To heaven I shall never go;
Nor yet, nor yet, to hell below.
Now when
these lines you slowly read,
Go search your Bible with all speed.
For that my name is written there,
Honestly to you declare.
Who am I?
