This works best with a 98 beat count riff like 0312-heavens-gates-98 from www.beats2rap2.com
The B-I-B-L-E, Yes, that’s the book for me.
I stand alone on the Word of God, The B-I-B-L-E
The Old Testament some people are fearing
Because with its words they’ve had no dealing.
But now it’s time for serious enlightening
Just sit back, relax, it’s not that frightening.
17 books of history revealing
Mysteries all about God’s incredible dealing
In the world He made He’s communicating
A message of love there’s no debating
Genesis Shows us the beginning
From Adam to Jacob’s sons all are sinning
In Exodus Israel from Egypt was leaving
And then at Mt. Sinai the Law receiving
Leviticus Teaches Israel purifying
Numbers Disobeying in the wilderness dying
Deuteronomy Is difficult saying
But Moses knows there’s no delaying
Reminders of the Law is what he’s preaching
Hoping the people to be reaching
Joshua After Moses the people is leading
People of the Promised land they’re defeating
In Judges Sin is multiplying
But Ruth Has a story of love undying
1 Samuel Saul is the King of Israel’s choosing
But with this guy there’s nothing but losing
2 Samuel David’s the King that God’s naming
And here we see that he’s powerfully reigning
1 Kings Separate kingdoms are morally declining
2 Kings Both kingdoms God is exiling
1 Chronicles Life of King David Reviewing
2 Chronicles Judah’s kings history renewing
Ezra From exile the people are returning
And from this scribe everyone is learning
Nehemiah Is about Jerusalem’s walls rebuilding
Esther Is the queen her people redeeming
Despite wicked, evil genocidal scheming.
Here comes 5 books of poetry and wisdom styling.
Old school rhythme without much rhyming.
Job Was the man that God was testing
But faith in God was how he was resting
Psalms Is the book of God’s people singing
Lifting up praise and ears are ringing
Proverbs Is wisdom written down in sayings
Totally good advice we should be obeying
Ecclesiastes Without God there is no meaning
Remember God everyday of your being
Song of Songs Is Celebrating
The excitement of marriage.
Let’s stop the waiting.
Then 17 books of prophesying
showing God’s heart for His people’s crying.
Isaiah Condemning and consoling
Jeremiah There’s just no repenting
Lamentations Over Jerusalem crying
Ezekiel Exiled but God he’s glorifying
Daniel The future he’s prophesying
Hosea The Love of God exemplifying
Joel One day there will be destroying
Amos’ Israel’s disrespect is getting annoying
Obadiah Says Edom’s doom is hastening
Jonah Is about God's prophet running
Micah Judah in court & God is pleading
Nahum Nineveh’s fame is now receding
Habakkuk Questions God about how He’s judging
Zephaniah The Day of the Lord is coming
Haggai Exhorts the Temple’s rebuilding
Zechariah Says that with all this sinning
Here comes Messiah and He won’t be grinning
Malachi Gives a final word of warning
Apathetic people will miss God’s morning
When the Sun of Righteousness descending
Comes to Earth and all things mending.
39 books we’ve been describing
Saints and sinners exemplifying
God’s great love there’s no denying
So is all this stuff just factual saying
Or is there something here we should be obeying
The greatest love letter ever put in writing
So to this task I am inviting
All of this book we should be knowing
‘cause without its truth there is no growing...
The B-I-B-L-E, Yes, that’s the book for me.
