VERSE 1
If you want'a know whats th matter
With this ole sinful world
While th wind blows sorrow
An' storms of life unhurled
There's a place to get the answer
Written there upon
Four books in th Bible
Matthew, Mark, Luke an' John
CHORUS:
Four books in th Bible
Our Saviour prophisied
Was told his disciples
On Mount Olive high
Th multitude there gathered
Hear th message from
Four books in th Bible
Matthew, Mark, Luke an' John
VERSE 2
This worlds grown weak an' wiser
Just like oft it said
Men made guiedin' missle
Atomic bombs we dred
They wittness all th sayin'
For many wonder come
Four books in th Bible
Matthew, Mark, Luke an' John
VERSE 3
We read it in th Holy Scriptures
H'it plainly tells us there
Of world an' destruction
On land and in th air
Things are now existin'
Compare His sayin' from
Four books in th Bible
Matthew, Mark, Luke an' John
