Lyrics

Verse 1
When I was a young boy my Dad told me,
"Life is a test of the highest degree"

"We'll all get a grade on judgment day,
And son if you want an A,

Listen to what I say,"

Chorus
It's an open book test,
Every answer is there,

No one can say, "it's unfair,"

You know he just wants you to be your best,
So God gives to us an open book test,

Verse 2
He said, "You can live by trial and error,
But that kind of livin' just doesn't compare,"

"To the life he's planned for you and me,
It's no mystery, it's there for all to see,"

Chorus
Cause it''s an open book test,
Every answer is there,

No one can say, " it's unfair,"

You know he just wants you to be your best,
So God gives to us an open book test,

Bridge
Well he placed that old Bible in my hand,
Said, "Son this will take you from a boy to a man,"

Choruse
And it's an open book test,
Every answer is there,

No one can say it's unfair,

You know he just wants you to be your best,
So God gives to us an open book test,

Yes God gives to us an open book test,
