People going round saying the Bibles just a book, like the Koran, Shakespeare's works or one of Julia Child's cook books. They say it carries no authority by which to rule our lives, just a collection of stories that somehow have survived.

Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
Wrote this rant whilst in seminary. It is what it is. Feel free to read into it whatever you wish. Which is kind of what we tend to do with scripture! John Calvin insisted that understanding the Bible was impossible without the help of the Holy Spirit. I tend to agree.
Lyrics
Back To The Bible People going round saying the Bibles just a book Like the Koran, Shakespeare's works or one of Julia Child's cook books They say it carries no authority by which to rule our lives Just a collection of stories that somehow have survived They look between it's covers and analyse it's words Saying this is right, this is wrong, this is just absurd if there's something they don't understand they explain it away Saying maybe St Paull wrote it when he was having a bad day We've got freedom of thought we can think what we like That doesn't mean that we think is always right We can cut God's Word into a million pieces The question I ask is 'Do we know Jesus?" That's why I say.. We got to get back to the Bible You got to get back to the Bible We got to get back to the Bible And do what God tells us to do People look back to events in Palestine And say they've been distorted by the passage of time They neglect to see the evidence surrounding them every day So for them the Bible may never show the way. Intellectual honesty is something we all need We've got to apply our integrity to everything we read But I believe the Bible, it's a kind of guide That points us to the best way we can live our lives That's why I say.. We got to get back to the Bible You got to get back to the Bible We got to get back to the Bible And do what God tells us to do Society's disintegrating, going nowhere fast, People passing by reality and living in the past meanwhile God looks on saying 'This has happened before Look at the evidence of history if you want to know the score Jesus rose up from the dead, which means He lives today He's waiting for us to turn to Him and guide us on our way He'll guide us through the scripture, He'll guide us through Shakespeare too He'll even guide us when we are cooking One of Julia Child's cookery book stews That's why I say..
