DUST ON THE BIBLE

I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine
Of all the 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 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, you can read your magazines of love and tragic
things
And 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.
Dust on the Bible will 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.
