Faith that doesn't show itself by good works is no faith at all
(James 2:17)
Person chatting with a bible over a garden fence
I am my neighbour's Bible,
He reads me when we meet.
Today he reads me in my home,
Tomorrow in the street.

He may be relative or friend,
Or slight acquaintance be.
He may not even know my name,
Yet he is reading me.

I'd rather see a sermon
than hear one any day.
I'd rather you walk with me
than merely show the way.

I may misunderstand you
and the high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding
how you act and how you live.
