about

words and music by Jonathan Rundman

lyrics

You're a black and white photo of a summer sky so blue
A two-dimensioned outline of a full Grand Canyon view
Oh dear little Bible, I give credit where it's due
And the credit goes to God and not to you

Little Bible you could never give yourself to die for me
No blood ran through your pages on that crucifixion tree
I will pay attention to the message that you bring
But written word and Living Word are very different things

Oh dear little Bible, Martin Luther said it best:
You're not unlike the manger where the Baby Jesus rests
You're just a handmade structure, but where God's love is revealed
So that through that simple cradle all creation can be healed

I love the lover, not the love letter
I drive down the highway, not down the map
I dance to the music, not to the radio
I look for the light, not for the lamp

Little Bible you could never give yourself to die for me
No blood ran through your pages on that crucifixion tree
I will pay attention to the message that you bring
But written word and Living Word are very different things
