[Verse 1]
C G C
It's a well of pure water when I'm thirsty and dry,
F
Bread when I'm hungry and worn;
C F
When the battle is raging, it's my faithful sword,
C G
A shelter from life's troubled storm.
C G C
It's a light to my pathway and a lamp to my feet
F
When the world gets so dark I can't see,
C F
And I've not made a change in one word that it says,
C G C2
But it sure made a change in me.
[Chorus]
G F C
This blessed old Book that I hold in my hand,
G C
It's true from beginning to end,
G F C
It's a solid foundation where I firmly stand,
F C G C2
Sin kept me from it; now it keeps me from sin.
[Verse 2]
C G C
When I think what it cost just to hold in my hand,
F
It reminds me that I owe a great debt
C F
To all of the martyrs who'd go to the stake
C G
And quote it with their dying breath.
C G C
Now its critics are many, and believers are few,
F
But one thing I've found to be true:
C F
If you find when you read it that there's something wrong,
C G C2
Then there's something wrong with you.
[Chorus]
G F C
This blessed old Book that I hold in my hand,
G C
It's true from beginning to end,
G F C
It's a solid foundation where I firmly stand,
F C G C2
Sin kept me from it; now it keeps me from sin.
