Read the Bible
by Acappella Children

Album: Drop In The Bucket

Spoken Intro:
Teacher: Ready good children, now let's be saying the books of the Bible.
Children: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, etc. (mixed laughing through Old Testament)
Teacher (while children reciting): Very good, don't be laughing please, very good, very good yes, no-no-no don't be laughing, you in the back there don't be laughing please, no-no-no everybody keep going please, everybody keep going please, no do not be stopping please, children I think I am giving up on you

Too many on earth have been searchin' since birth tryin' to find identity
They're using their minds but they cant seem to find why the things were meant to be
They study the quest and they venture a guess but the things still don't quite fit
And they'll never know the reason for their souls 'til they turn to the holy writ

Why don't they...

Chorus:
Read the Bible ('cause you know) it's filled with the wonderful news (it's filled with the news)
It shows 'em the way of joy and love, the best way for them to choose (and it shows 'em the best way to choose)
They better search the scriptures to (so that they can) find how to walk in the light (walk in the light)
They've gotta be sure (and they've got to be sure) that they know the truth and the way that they're livin' is right

Professor or kin, so-called preacher or friend, you put trust in mortal man
And that's where you fall, swallow hook, line and all, read the Word now while you can
So listen my friend, please don't drift with the wind and believe just what you've heard
Don't believe all your told but watch the messege unfold when you read His holy Word (read His Word)

Why don't they...

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
The things that Jesus taught (entirely with out fault), entirely without fault, the wonderful news (the wonderful news)
It's never out of date (and now it's not too late), and now it's not too late to know the truth (truth)

Why don't they...

Repeat Chorus

So read His Word! (You've got to read it, you know you should read His Word)
