Mighty Good Book
[Verse 1]
There's a mighty good book and it tells a story
It's a bible on a shelf
Oh you know the names and you know the stories
Have you ever read it for yourself?
[Chorus]
It's a mighty good book, it's a mighty good book
Of the man who died on the way
It's a mighty good book, it's a mighty good book
And it's just as true today
[Verse 2]
Oh it tells of the hill and the land of Zion
Where they took a man who made no crime
While the wicked walked through the women crying
And the sun refused to shine
[Chorus]
It's a mighty good book, it's a mighty good book
Of the man who died on the way
It's a mighty good book, it's a mighty good book
And it's just as true today
[Verse 3]
Now there's gonna come a day when you go to glory
And you're gonna hear the master's call
Are you gonna wish you read the story
Of when Jesus paid it all?
[Chorus]
It's a mighty good book, it's a mighty good book
Of the man who died on the way
It's a mighty good book, it's a mighty good book
And it's just as true today
[Outro]
It's a mighty good book, it's a mighty good book
And it's just as true today
