Bibles In A Garbage Can (southern Country Gospel song about God bluegrass accoustic with lyrics)

This morning on my way to class there was a man giving away little pocket bibles near the entrance to the campus. I was in a rush but when the man handed me a book I took it and said thank you. Right after entering campus was a garbage can. As I passed it I saw about 10-15 bibles just thrown in that garbage can. I feel bad throwing away anything without reading it or throwing away a book in general. I felt even worse seeing so many Bibles just laying in the trash. While I was sitting in class I wrote the first verse to this song. I wrote the 3rd verse in my car on the way back home and the rest just now.

Lyrics:
On a busy campus corner was a man giving away books
little green pocket Bibles hoping someone would take a look
some folks just ignored him some folks talked to him a while
he gave me one on my way to class I said thank you with a smile
Then I walked a little farther and saw something I don't understand
Little green pocket Bibles layin' in a garbage can

You know, no no one had to take it so why take it an throw it away
Why throw away the Bible and what the Bible has to say

Well in the pages in that book that someone chose to throw away
is the story of a savior to all those who go astray
I guess not everybody believes in what I do
as I looked at what was thrown away I wished that they knew
what's written in the pages of that book that left there hands
Those little green pocket Bibles layin' in a garbage can

No no one had to take it so why take it and throw it away
Why thrown away the Bible and what the Bible has to say

I picked up on of the Bibles that was layin' there in the trash
Though about who put it there were they'll be after judgments pass
I know it ain't my place to cast a stone someone else s way
I'd understand if you don't want the book but why take it and throw it away
and I thought a little farther and I still don't understand
Little green pocket Bibles layin' in a garbage can
