[Verse 1]
C F C
When I look around and see the blessings on this country,
C G
it's plain to see how good the Lord has been.
C F C
But I hear some people say 'put that old black book away',
C G C
and then I just remind them once again.
[Chorus]
C F C
That it's just a book, that saved me from damnation,
C G
it's just a book, that cleansed me from my sin,
C F
it's just a book, that founded this great nation,
C G C
and it's our only hope to get her back again.
[Verse 2]
C F C
They don't want God's ten commandments, they don't like my King James Bible,
C G
they don't care to hear what Jesus Christ has done.
C F C
They speak with such conviction and condemn us with such boldness,
C G C
but just show that book and man just watch them run.
[Chorus 2]
C F C
If it's just a book, why are you running?
C G
If it's just a book, why get so mad?
C F
If it's just a book, why get so nervous?
C G C
It's just a book that knows every thought you've had.
[Verse 3]
C F C
When you open up this book into your heart it takes a look,
C G
and it shows you exactly what you are.

From the pages there within it points out your every sin,
C G C
it discerns the thoughts and intents of your heart.
[Chorus 3]
C F C
It's just a book, that showed me full salvation,
C G
it's just a book, that read my title clear,
C F
it's just a book, that gave to me the victory,
C G C
it's the King James Bible that I hold so dear.
[Chorus 4]
C F C
That it's just a book, that saved me from damnation,
C G
it's just a book, that cleansed me from my sin,
C F
it's just a book, that founded this great nation,
C G C
and it's our only hope to get her back again.
