It's a well of pure water [G] when I'm thirsty [C] and dry,
Red when I'm hungry [F] and worn.
When the battle is raging, [C] it's my [F] faithful sword,
A [C] shelter from life's [G] troubled storm.
[C] It's a light to my pathway [G] and a lamp to [C] my feet,
When the world gets so dark you [F] can't see.
And I'm not made a change in [C] one word that [F] it says,
[C] But it sure made [G] a change [C] in me.
[G] This blessed old book that [F] I hold in [C] my hand,
[G] It's true from beginning [C] to end.
[G] It's a solid foundation [F] where I [C] firmly stand,
[F] Sin kept [C] me from it, [G] now it keeps me [C] from sin.
[F] [C] When I think what it costs just [G] to hold in [C] my hand,
It reminds me that I owe a [F] great debt
To all of the martyrs [C] who go to [F] the stake,
[C] And quote it with their dying [G]
breath.
[C] Now its critics are many [G] and believers [C] are few,
But one thing I've found,
[F]
If you find when you read it [C] that there's something [F] wrong,
[C] There's [G] something wrong [C] with you.
[G] This blessed old book that [F] I hold in [C] my hand,
[G] It's true from beginning [C] to end.
[G] It's a solid foundation [F] where I firmly [C] stand,
[F] Sin kept [C] me from it, [G] now it keeps me [C] from sin.
[G] This blessed old book that [F] I hold in [C] my hand,
[G] It's true from beginning [C] to end.
[G] It's a solid foundation [F] where I firmly stand,
Sin kept [C] me from it, [G] now it keeps me [C] from sin.
[F] This blessed [C] old book that [G] I hold in [C] my hand.
