To followers and believers of Christ, The Bible is a book of teachings we can learn and use as we navigate life and its challenges. 

The song’s lyrics tell us that the Bible is the guide to heaven, which will be our last stop if ever the day comes. The song also reminds us that there is no shortcut to reaching heaven and that Jesus will be the one guiding us safely to that peaceful destination.
