The Cover
by Terri Gibbs

Album: What A Great Day

I look around and it amazes me
All the damaged books I see
But the covers are all so perfect and fine
Who would ever guess the pain inside

Then there are those who are broken and torn
The covers are all so tattered and worn
But something in the pages burns inside
And the story is told by the spark in their eyes

Someday the covers will all be gone
That which is written will stand all alone
The pages of every life will then unfold
As the author reads from the Lamb's book of life
The truth is revealed line after line
No more judging the book by the cover

Open your eyes and try to see
The cover is not where the heart should be
'Cause looks can deceive again and again
We must look upon the Spirit within

Someday the covers will all be gone
That which is written will stand all alone
The pages of every life will then unfold
As the author reads from the Lamb's book of life
The truth is revealed line after line
No more judging the book by the cover, no, no
There'll be no more judging the book by the cover
