Description
Sins are not swept under the rug, and holiness here is not feigned - only an honest admission that light and darkness coexist in one heart. This is not a sermon, but a late-night kitchen conversation: with heavy words, pauses, and the calmness that comes when there is nothing left to hide. Between the lines, there is a suggestion that even cracks can be a path to light, and imperfection is the only real proof of faith. Sometimes it is precisely this kind of ‘unbookish’ experience that becomes the most convincing page.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Hell knows I ain't perfect
The devil's no stranger to my door
Thought I buried my burdens
Just to find out they bury me in more
Won't find me on your nightstand or a hotel room
Won't find me by a hymnal in some old church pew
But if I'm the only Bible that you ever read
The only revival that you ever see
No, I ain't Jesus and I'll never be
Take me as I am, somewhere in between
Broken and saved, take a page from a sinner like me
If I'm the only Bible that you ever read
Through the pain and the hurting
That's where I found out what His word meant
Nah, this ain't no sermon
I'm just someone who's been where you've been
If you're battling the darkness, hiding from the light
Wherever you are tonight
If I'm the only Bible that you ever read
The only revival that you ever see
No, I ain't Jesus and I'll never be
Take me as I am, somewhere in between
Broken and saved, take a page from a sinner like me
(If I'm the only Bible that you ever read)
Won't find me on your nightstand or a hotel room
Won't find me by a hymnal in some old church pew
But if I'm the only Bible that you ever read
The only revival that you ever see
No, I ain't Jesus and I'll never be
Take me as I am, somewhere in between
Broken and saved, take a page from a sinner like me
(If I'm the only Bible that you ever read)
If I'm the only Bible that you ever read
