Oh how I love the Words to this Song.
What light is that shining so brightly for me?
That gives me such courage, the right way to see.
What hope for my trusting soul ever shall be?
God's wonderful Book Divine.
I love the old Bible, Precious old Bible.
Light on my pathway to shine.
It keeps me so happy, always so happy.
God's wonderful Book Divine.
What hope for the traveler when strength's almost gone?
That makes him determined to keep plodding on.
What sweet consolation from Heaven's white throne?
God's wonderful Book Divine.
I love the old Bible, Blessed old Bible.
Light on my pathway to shine.
It keeps me so happy, always so happy.
God's wonderful Book Divine.
What chart can you trust as a guide for your soul?
When tempests would strand you on some treacherous shore.
What compass will point you to Heaven's bright door?
God's wonderful Book Divine.
I love the old Bible, Old King James Bible.
Light on my pathway it shines.
It keeps me so happy, always so happy.
God's wonderful Book Divine.

I love when you go around the house singing this, even if it is over and over ;)
If the KJV is the only version of the bible that is true, then what about people who don't speak English? Does that mean that if a Chinese speaking person is reading a Chinese bible, they are actually reading satans word rather than God's word? To say that only 1 bible is correct seems a bit illogical.
Brandon,
Without a doubt, the KJV is the most influential book, let alone Bible, ever published. I do believe that its translators were doing the Lord's work. When I read the Psalms and Proverbs, they sound great in the KJV.
I do take great offense to your comment that the KJV is the only one that is God's word. I have read the NKJV for years, my wife reads the NASB, and my daughter reads the NIV. All of them fine translations. I would not let a Bible into my home that I didn't wholeheartedly believe in. I read the NKJV because that's the Bible the pastor used in the church I grew up in and I am comfortable and familiar with it. My wife uses the NASB because based on ancient texts discovered since the KJV was published, many Biblical scholars believe that the NASB is the most accurate. My daughter reads the NIV because she is 8 and it is the most appropriate version for her.
If you use the KJV because you prefer it, that is fine. But please do not try to imply that any other translation is Satan's counterfeit. Such an accusation is UN-Biblical.
Here's a news flash for you: A majority of the world's population do NOT speak English. What translation do you suggest they read is the rest are Satan's counterfeit?
I attended a large church a few years ago. Every once in a while, the old argument regarding Bible translations would come up. Our pastor always said that the best Bible translation is the one you own and read.
