That book on the shelf

(With apologies to David Lee Murphy, the songwriter of "Dust on the Bottle")

Sittin' on the shelf, all lost and lonesome,
Is a Book with all you need to know,
How to live your life and love Jesus,
If you read it, your faith will grow.

It's got what you need, son, it's between those covers
(Why dontcha) Take it down and take a look inside?

There shouldn't be any dust on your Bible,
It has everything you need to survive,
There shouldn't be any dust on your Bible,
The more you read it, it gets sweeter with time.

It's sittin' on the bookshelf wanting you to read it,
There's wisdom and great things inside,
When life is hard and you are seeking,
Let God's Word be your guide.

Reach up on the bookshelf and dust off the cover,
It's just been waiting for you to see the Light.

There shouldn't be any dust on your Bible,
It has everything you need to survive,
There shouldn't be any dust on your Bible,
The more you read it, it gets sweeter with time.

God's Word is so sweet and I've learned some great things,
After all these years, there's one thing I've found
I say the good Book, well, it's like a fine wine
The message keeps getting better as the days go by.

There shouldn't be any dust on your Bible,
It has everything you need to survive,
There shouldn't be any dust on your Bible,
The more you read it, it gets sweeter with time.
