Read the Book (Don’t Wait for the Movie)

Television subdivision
He sees it on his advent screen
The cable's on, the tape is running
So he won’t miss a thing
I asked him if he knew Jesus
He said what channel is He on

While he sees the latest feature
A Bible sits collecting dust
TV Guide and program listings
The only place he puts his trust
Who says a wealth of information
Has to be filmed on location

Don't wait for the movie
Read the Book
Don't wait for the movie

All the lines keep getting longer
To see the latest horror show
Degeneration of a generation
Tell me where’d the Bible go

I asked them if they knew Jesus
Is He in a theatre near you
I said, "No, He's the Messiah"
"Do you think He'll get good reviews"

(The management of this theatre
Requests that you take a moment to
Familiarize yourself with the
Emergency exits located at either the
Right or the left of your life)

Hollywood says the movie's better
Special effects are the thing
But the miracles of the Father
They can never be put on screen
