Dust on the Bible
I went into a home one day just to see some friends of mineOf all their 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 o'er 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 the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soulOh, you can read your magazines of love and tragic thingsBut not one word of Bible verse, not a scripture do you knowWhen it is the very truth and it's contents good for youBut it's dust is covered o'er itAnd it's sure to doom your poor soulDust on the Bible, dust on the Holy WordThe word of all the prophets, and the sayings of our Lord.Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holdsGet the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul.Oh, if you have a friend you'd like to help along life's wayJust tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to prayThe best advice to give him that will make his burdens lightIs to dust the family bible trades the wrong way for the rightDust on the Bible, dust on the Holy WordThe word of all the prophets, and the sayings of our LordOf all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holdsGet the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul Aus Songtexte Mania
