Ever wondered what each book of the New Testament in the Bible are about. Well look no further as in the wee rhyme below I will tell you:
Matthew and Mark and Luke and John the holy Gospels wrote,
Describing how the Saviour died - his life and what he taught,
Acts proves how God the apostles owned with signs in every place,
St Paul in Romans teaches us how man is saved by grace,
Th'apostle in Corinthians instructs, exhorts, reproves;
Galatians shows that faith in Christ alone, the Father loves,
Ephesians and Philippians tell what Christians ought to be.
Colossians bids us live to God and for eternity,
In Thessalonians we are taught the Lord will come from heaven,
In Timothy and Titus a bishop's rule is given.
Philemon marks Christian's love which only Christians know.
Hebrews reveals the Gospel as prefigured by the Law.
St James insists that without deeds faith is but vain and dead:
And Peter points the narrow way in which the saints are led.
St John in his epistles on love delights to dwell,
And Jude gives awful warning of judgment, wrath and hell.
The Revelations prophecies of that tremendous day
When Christ, and Christ alone, shall be the tremblings sinner's stay
