There is a book that sits on a shelf
But ... No one seems to read
What is this book sitting all alone
Many feel they do not need

It gathers dust on it's cover
Pages are like new
Binding still stiff, not opened much
A book no one looks through

People get married
Say there is no instruction book
Go over to the shelf, it's there
All you need to do is take a look



A new baby is born
Parents say there is no instruction book
There on the shelf
That's right, just look

Do you have a friend hurting inside
You don't know what to say
The book's on the shelf, with the words
Bow your heads together and pray

Are there days you feel lonely
Take this book and read it through
Those are His words speaking
He is there, talking with you



Look over a few pages each day
Think about the words just read
We would find it in our heart to be kinder
Lose the hate and show love instead

Do you think if families share the words in this book
Then these words applied
There would be more unity within
As they support each other side by side

What is this book I speak of
It is the Bible that sits all alone
The most beautiful book on the shelf
Never opened, inside a treasure, completely unknown
