Dust On the Bible

I went into a home one day just to see some friends of mine Of all their books and magazines, not a Bible could I find. I asked them for the Bible. When they brought it, what a shame! For the dust was covered o'er it, not a fingerprint was plain. Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word The words of all the prophets, and the sayings of our Lord. Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds Get the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul. Oh, you can read your magazines of love and tragic things But not one word of Bible verse, not a scripture do you know. When it is the very truth, and it's contents good for you. But it's dust is covered o'er it And it's sure to doom your poor soul. Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word; The word of all the prophets, and the sayings of our Lord. Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds Get the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul. Oh, if you have a friend you'd like to help along life's way Just tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to pray The best advice to give him that will make his burdens light Is to dust the family bible trades the wrong way for the right Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word The word of all the prophets, and the sayings of our Lord. Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds. Get the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul.
