Dust on the Bible
Well, I went into a home one day to see some friends of mineOf all the books and magazines, not a Bible could I findI asked them for the Bible when they brought it, what a shameFor the dust was covered over it, not a fingerprint was plainDust on the Bible, dust on the Holy wordThe words of all the prophets and the sayings of our LordOf all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holdsGet that dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soulOh, you can read your magazines of love and tragic thingsNot one word of Bible verse, not a scripture do you knowBut it is the very truth and its contents good for youBut if dust is covered over, it is sure to doom your soulDust on the Bible, dust on the Holy wordThe words of all the prophets and the sayings of our LordOf all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holdsGet that dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soulOh, you have a friend you'd like to help along the wayJust tell him that the good book shows a mortal how to prayThe best advice to give him that will make his burden lightIs to dust the family Bible, trade the wrong for the rightDust on the Bible, dust on the Holy wordThe words of all the prophets and the sayings of our LordOf all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holdsGet that dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul
