Lyrics: The Bible is the word of God
Foretelling of Jesus' birth.
It teaches me about His life,
And why He came to earth.
These are the sacred scriptures that testify of Christ:
The Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price.

The Book of Mormon helps me know
That Jesus is the Christ.
He gave His life,
I'll follow Him.
For me He sacrificed.
These the sacred scriptures that testify of Christ:
The Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price.

The Doctrine and Covenants has messages to share;
Before the Savior comes again repent and be prepared.
These are the sacred scriptures that testify of Christ:
The Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price.

The Words of Moses, Joseph Smith, The Book of Abraham,
The Pearl of Great Price gives me faith in Heav'nly Father's plan.
These are the books of Scripture that testify of Christ:
The Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price.
