One of the lines declares 'I open up, I take a look, into the bright and shiny...book of brilliant things.
For me ...and maybe this is totally inaccurate ...I have always thought this to be about the Bible. For me it is a as the title says a Book of Brilliant things.
I have over the past couple of months resurrected a mostly daily habit of reading the bible. The plan I am following gets you to read the Bible in a year but it is more than that.
About 3 years ago I read a book entitled 'The Divine Mentor' ...this book encourages you to follow the SOAP process. In a daily journal you then pick and write out a single verse from the 3/4 chapters you read, hence the S. You then make / write an observation about the verse (O). You then write out an application (A) of that verse and finally you write out a prayer of how you make that application (P) = SOAP!
This daily process has, as the book declares become my mentor. I have gained so much from doing this. It has helped me, counseled me, supported me and guided me through some tough times.
The Bible is indeed a Brilliant Thing. Probably the most underused resource we have. Dust it down and as the lyric says ‘open it up’ and ‘take a look!’

It has to be the Bible. he's thanking the Creator for his voice and his eyes and his brain. He's also thanking God for the pictures of Living,in the beautiful black and the white. To me, that means black ink on the white pages of the Bible. He also thanks the shadows of people Fellowship that take two or three to make company. He also reflects on our hearts when we are redeemed. How it will be like hearts that beat Like the wheels of the fast train, all around the world.
