Lyrics

I LOVE TO SETTLE DOWN WITH A REAL GOOD BOOK
OFTEN PROMISED ME I'S GONNA TAKE A LOOK
AT THE ONE I'D LEFT RIGHT UP THERE ON THE SHELF
GATHERING DUST, YOU KNOW I ALWAYS FELT
I NEVER NEEDED, NOTHIN' ELSE


IT WAS A RAINY DAY, WANTED SOMETHIN' TO DO
SO I PICKED IT UP, STARTED TO READ A FEW
IT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE AND AS THE PAGES TURNED
I READ ABOUT A MAN WHO DIED TO SAVE THE WORLD
AND LATER ON WHEN HE RETURNED

CHORUS:
HE SAID I DID IT FOR YOU SO YOU COULD PLAINLY SEE

THAT LOVE CAN CONQUER HATE

AND IF YOU LIVE BY THE TRUTH THEN EVENTUALLY

YOU'LL FIND YOUR ETERNAL PLACE



WELL I'M NOT REALLY SURE I UNDERSTOOD IT ALL
SEEMED SO MANY WAYS THAT YOU COULD TAKE THE TALE
BUT IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT SOMETHING CHANGED THE DAY
I READ THE BOOK ABOUT A MAN SO BRAVE
AND OF ALL THE LOVE HE GAVE

CHORUS:


WELL IF YOU EVER WANNA READ A STORY LINE
AND KNOW YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT MORE THE SECOND TIME
AND IT'S A RAINY DAY AND YOU NEED COMPANY
WHY DONT YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE BOOK AND SEE
JUST EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN

FINAL CHORUS:

IT SAYS HE DID IT FOR YOU SO YOU COULD PLAINLY SEE

THAT LOVE CAN CONQUER HATE

AND IF YOU LIVE BY THE TRUTH THEN EVENTUALLY

YOU'LL FIND YOUR ETERNAL PLACE


IT SAYS HE DID IT FOR YOU SO YOU COULD PLAINLY SEE
THAT LOVE CAN CONQUER HATE, AMEN
