On the table, side by
side,
the Book of Mormon and TV
Guide.
One is well-worn, cherished
with pride-
(Not the Book of Mormon--the
TV Guide.)
One is used daily to help
folks decide;
(Not the Book of Mormon--
the TV Guide.)
As pages are turned, what
shall they see?
Oh, what does it matter:
Turn on the TV!
They open the book from
which they confide;
(Not the Book of Mormon--the
TV Guide.)
The work of the Lord is
seldom read,
a verse here and there as
they fall into bed,
exhausted and sleepy, tired
as can be
(Not from reading scripture--from
watching TV.)
So, back to the table, where,
side by side,
lay the Book of Mormon and
TV Guide.
The plan of salvation is
full and free-
But it's found in the Book
of Mormon-
not on TV.
