Inherit the Wind

The Book Lyrics and music by Michael Card Through the paragraphs and prophets In their fiery words and rhymes In the pages of the patriarchs We can read on every line Of the kindness of commandment And of all He undertook That before we called He answered us In the pages of The Book. It is the key, it is the door More than ink and cloth and page Each line preserved in blood and tears To speak to each new age Come read the very thoughts of God Hear what wisdom has to say For in three thousand years and more It has not aged a day. Chorus And the pages of The Book Are turned with trembling awe As we witness wonders there That only faithful saw We go as deep as we can go Look as hard as we can look But we only scratch the surface Of the meaning of The Book. So open up your heart and soul To the call and the command Hold a vast and priceless treasure In the palm of just one hand And know true transformation As you take it up and look At the flesh and bone and blood and truth In the pages of The Book.
