Open up the pages, even if it has been years

There’s a melody of wisdom that can quiet all your fears

You see the world is changing, moving faster than a train

But the stories in the good book, will help to ease the pain

From the lions in the den to the shadows in the night

Every word was put on paper just to lead us to the light

It isn’t just a history of things that used to be

It’s a letter sent from Heaven meant for you and meant for me

’Cause everything was written, yeah, it was written long ago

To be a map for every valley where the weary travelers go

Through the fire of endurance and the comfort that we find

In the verses and the visions that the Father left behind

We’re holdin' on to a promise, we’re keepin' a steady hope

Yeah, the Scriptures give us comfort, and they help us to cope

Now, you might feel the pressure, feel the weight upon your chest

Lookin' for a little mercy and a place where you can rest

Well, don't you know that Joseph felt the coldness of the pit?

And David sang his songs when the lamp was barely lit?

They left a trail of breadcrumbs so that we could find our way

Instruction for the struggle in the heat of every day

It’s the anchor in the water when the waves are gettin' tall

It’s the hand upon your shoulder that won’t ever let you fall

It’s a lamp (it’s a lamp)

It’s a light (it’s a light)

It’s the truth that’s gonna help you through the middle of the night

It was written for our learning, written for our soul

To keep our spirits healthy and to make our broken whole

’Cause everything was written, yeah, it was written long ago

To be a map for every valley where the weary travelers go

Through the fire of endurance and the comfort that we find

In the verses and the visions that the Father left behind

We’re holdin' on to a promise, we’re keepin' a steady hope

Yeah, the Scriptures give us comfort, and they help us to cope
