This Blessed Old Book Chords

(ver. 1)
Rochesters
[Verse 1]
       C                           G           C
It's a well of pure water when I'm thirsty and dry,
                          F
Bread when I'm hungry and worn;
                                   C        F
When the battle is raging, it's my faithful sword,
  C                            G
A shelter from life's troubled storm.
       C                         G          C
It's a light to my pathway and a lamp to my feet
                                    F
When the world gets so dark I can't see,
                                  C            F
And I've not made a change in one word that it says,
       C           G         C2
But it sure made a change in me.


[Chorus]
     G                       F          C
This blessed old Book that I hold in my hand,
     G                      C
It's true from beginning to end,
       G                      F          C
It's a solid foundation where I firmly stand,
F           C               G             C2
Sin kept me from it; now it keeps me from sin.


[Verse 2]
       C                          G          C
When I think what it cost just to hold in my hand,
                                 F
It reminds me that I owe a great debt
                            C          F
To all of the martyrs who'd go to the stake
    C                         G
And quote it with their dying breath.
        C                     G             C
Now its critics are many, and believers are few,
                               F
But one thing I've found to be true:
                                  C                 F
If you find when you read it that there's something wrong,
     C                 G          C2
Then there's something wrong with you.


[Chorus]
     G                       F          C
This blessed old Book that I hold in my hand,
     G                      C
It's true from beginning to end,
       G                      F          C
It's a solid foundation where I firmly stand,
F           C               G             C2
Sin kept me from it; now it keeps me from sin.
