66 Books, One Story
By Robert Sauber

Verse 1
In Genesis God spoke, and all creation came to be,
But man fell in the garden, bound by sin and misery.
Yet through Abraham’s family, God lit redemption’s flame,
A promise moving through the years, still calling out His name.

Through Exodus He freed them from Egypt’s cruel hand,
At Sinai gave His holy law and led them through the land.
Leviticus showed holiness, the blood that must atone,
And Numbers showed His faithfulness when hearts had turned to stone.

Chorus
Sixty-six books, but one story,
One Savior, one promise, one glory.
From creation to the cross,
From the garden to the throne,
Every page is crying, “Jesus Christ alone.”
God created, man fell,
Christ redeemed, and we shall see,
The Lord restore all things
For all eternity.

Verse 2
Moses called in Deuteronomy, “Love the Lord and obey,”
Joshua crossed by faith and saw the walls fall down that day.
In Judges, sin and mercy turned in sorrow’s weary round,
But Ruth’s love brought a line where David’s promised crown was found.

Samuel heard the voice of God; Saul rose, but fell through pride,
David found both grace and grief with mercy at his side.
Kings and Chronicles tell of temples, thrones, and shame,
How nations fall when they forget the honor of God’s name.

Chorus
Sixty-six books, but one story,
One Savior, one promise, one glory.
From creation to the cross,
From the garden to the throne,
Every page is crying, “Jesus Christ alone.”
God created, man fell,
Christ redeemed, and we shall see,
The Lord restore all things
For all eternity.

Verse 3
Ezra built the temple, Nehemiah raised the wall,
Esther showed God’s hidden hand still working through it all.
Job cried out through suffering, yet trusted God above,
And Psalms became the songs of fear, of sorrow, faith, and love.

Proverbs gave us wisdom in the fear of God alone,
Ecclesiastes warned that life is empty on its own.
The Song declared a covenant, a faithful love and true,
Then prophets cried, “Return to God; His mercy waits for you.”

Verse 4
Isaiah saw the suffering One, the King who yet would reign,
Jeremiah wept for Judah and spoke new covenant gain.
Ezekiel saw the glory and the promise of new hearts,
Daniel saw God’s kingdom stand when earthly power departs.

Hosea showed a faithful love that would not let them go,
Joel called the people back before the trumpet’s blow.
Amos cried for justice, Micah taught the humble way,
And Jonah learned God’s mercy reaches enemies who pray.

Bridge
From Obadiah’s warning, to Nahum’s judgment cry,
Habakkuk learned to trust the Lord though evil filled the sky.
Zephaniah saw restoration after judgment’s flame,
Haggai said, “Build the house; give glory to His name.”

Zechariah saw the King, the pierced One yet to come,
Malachi said, “Prepare the way; the Lord is coming soon.”
Then silence waited through the years until the heavens stirred,
And in the fullness of the time came Jesus, living Word.

Chorus
Sixty-six books, but one story,
One Savior, one promise, one glory.
From creation to the cross,
From the garden to the throne,
Every page is crying, “Jesus Christ alone.”
God created, man fell,
Christ redeemed, and we shall see,
The Lord restore all things
For all eternity.

Verse 5
Matthew showed the promised King, the Son of David’s line,
Mark proclaimed the Servant strong, yet suffering by design.
Luke told how He reached the poor, the wounded, and the lost,
John declared the Word made flesh, eternal life through the cross.

Acts rang out with Spirit fire from Jerusalem’s street,
Romans preached salvation full for all who would believe.
Corinthians called the church to truth, to holiness, and grace,
Galatians cried, “By faith alone, not works, we take our place.”

Verse 6
Ephesians showed one body, raised and seated in the Son,
Philippians sang joy in chains until the race is run.
Colossians crowned Christ over all, sufficient and supreme,
Thessalonians said, “Live holy; soon you’ll see the King.”

Timothy and Titus taught the church to guard the Word,
Philemon showed forgiveness when gospel grace is heard.
Hebrews showed our High Priest, better covenant, better blood,
James declared that living faith bears fruit before our God.

Final Verse
Peter called the suffering saints to hope and holiness,
John said walk in light and love, in truth and righteousness.
Jude said contend for the faith once given to the saints,
Then Revelation thundered, “Christ shall end all sin and pain.”

The Lamb is on the throne, and one day He will descend,
Every tear will be wiped away, and death itself shall end.
From Genesis to Revelation, the promise still rings true,
All Scripture points to Jesus, making everything new.

Final Chorus
Sixty-six books, but one story,
One Savior, one promise, one glory.
From creation to the cross,
From the garden to the throne,
Every page is crying, “Jesus Christ alone.”
God created, man fell,
Christ redeemed, and we shall see,
The Lord restore all things
For all eternity.
