Charlie Robison - Its Just A Book Chords

[Verse 1]
C                               F                 C
When I look around and see the blessings on this country,
C                                       G
it's plain to see how good the Lord has been.
C                           F                        C
But I hear some people say 'put that old black book away',
C                      G           C
and then I just remind them once again.
 
[Chorus]
C                           F                C
That it's just a book, that saved me from damnation,
C                                          G
it's just a book, that cleansed me from my sin,
C                                          F
it's just a book, that founded this great nation,
    C                     G             C
and it's our only hope to get her back again.
 
[Verse 2]
C                                            F                        C
They don't want God's ten commandments, they don't like my King James Bible,
C                                             G
they don't care to hear what Jesus Christ has done.
C                                    F                   C
They speak with such conviction and condemn us with such boldness,
C                           G                    C
but just show that book and man just watch them run.
 
[Chorus 2]
C                       F           C
If it's just a book, why are you running?
C                              G
If it's just a book, why get so mad?
C                                F
If it's just a book, why get so nervous?
C                            G                   C
It's just a book that knows every thought you've had.
 
[Verse 3]
C                                    F                C
When you open up this book into your heart it takes a look,
C                                  G
and it shows you exactly what you are.
C                             F                      C
From the pages there within it points out your every sin,
C                            G                C
it discerns the thoughts and intents of your heart.
 
[Chorus 3]
C                        F              C
It's just a book, that showed me full salvation,
C                                      G
it's just a book, that read my title clear,
C                                      F
it's just a book, that gave to me the victory,
 C                         G             C
it's the King James Bible that I hold so dear.
 
[Chorus 4]
 
C                           F                C
That it's just a book, that saved me from damnation,
C                                          G
it's just a book, that cleansed me from my sin,
C                                          F
it's just a book, that founded this great nation,
    C                     G             C
and it's our only hope to get her back again.
 C                    G              C
It's our only hope to get her back again!
