Get that dust off the bible and redeem your poor soul
The best advice to give him that will make his burden light
Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word
I asked them for the bible when they brought it, what a shame
For the dust was covered over it, not a finger-print was plain
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
But it is the very truth and its contents good for you
Oh, you have a friend you'd like to help along the way
Not one word of bible verse, not a scripture do you know
Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word
The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord
But if dust is covered over it is sure to doom your soul
The words of all the prophets and the sayings of our Lord
Dust on the bible, dust on the holy word
Get that dust off the bible and redeem your poor soul
Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds
Just tell him that the good book shows a mortal how to pray
Oh, you can read your magazines of love and tragic things
Is to dust the family bible, trade the wrong for the right
Of all the other books you'll find, there's none salvation holds
