Take it as Gospel

I see your tattered pages
and I find myself drawn in
by your popularity.
Your coarse skin's lasted the ages,
from where the first stroke begins,
with just the same clarity
as if it was freshly written,
your message clearly still intact
in words that still hold value.
So many people are smitten
by stories they take as fact
but just how much is really true?
If your word has lasted this long
it must surely hold some truth
and yet there's still that hindrance
that prevents belief being strong:
when your words are devoid of proof
they are devoid of substance,
so I will respect your bible
but wont hold its word viable.
