You’ll never find another like
God’s special, special book.

Preach the blessed word.

Take time to read daily the Word of the Lord.
Make it a good habit to study His Word.

And do what He says.
You’ll find happy pleasure following Jesus always.
Take time to pray daily, tell Him of your need.
He loves all His children, He’s a friend indeed.
Take Him all your sorrows,
He’ll help you each time.
His burdens are easy, His way is sublime.
Take time to live righteous, be pure in your heart.

Live for Christ above sin.
He’ll help you to live daily,
And then take your soul in.
