[Intro]
[Verse]
Your name will spawn a thousand views
Good to bad and devil-may-care
Holy Bible - realm of good news
Wisdom and Truth - your sacred pair
[Chorus]
A book that bears a thousand gifts
For one who sheds each mortal load
Whose light by reading daily shifts
The veil of doubt from earthly road
[Verse]
One word or verse a life may change
Then need a life to feel its force
A unity of thought and range
The triune God its perfect source
[Chorus]
A book that bears a thousand gifts
For one who sheds each mortal load
Whose light by reading daily shifts
The veil of doubt from earthly road
[Verse]
To those who skim and wander far
To other christs and gospels false
All fail to rise to Scripture’s bar
Nor seek within their only cross
[Chorus]
A book that bears a thousand gifts
For one who sheds each mortal load
Whose light by reading daily shifts
The veil of doubt from earthly road
[Break]
[Verse]
Your name will spawn a thousand views
Good to bad and devil-may-care
Holy Bible - realm of good news
Wisdom and Truth - your sacred pair
[Chorus]
A book that bears a thousand gifts
For one who sheds each mortal load
Whose light by reading daily shifts
The veil of doubt from earthly road
[Verse]
One word or verse a life may change
Then need a life to feel its force
A unity of thought and range
The triune God its perfect source
[Chorus]
A book that bears a thousand gifts
For one who sheds each mortal load
Whose light by reading daily shifts
The veil of doubt from earthly road
[Verse]
To those who skim and wander far
To other christs and gospels false
All fail to rise to Scripture’s bar
Nor seek within their only cross
[Chorus]
A book that bears a thousand gifts
For one who sheds each mortal load
Whose light by reading daily shifts
The veil of doubt from earthly road
[Outro]
