Beat Up Bible

This beat up Bible

Dusty on a shelf

Worn out and torn up

Don't look like much, but it will get you through hell

It's been held in the hands

Of all the ones that I love

It might be fallin' off the binding, but every line in it still holds up

In this beat up Bible

Yeah

That old recliner

In this living room

She was sittin' right there, teachin' me a prayer

All that she knew

About the words on the pages

About the greatest gift

Where you find the truth, you find the proof of how love still is

In this beat up Bible

I can hear her sayin'

"Baby, when you prayin'

Give Him all your words, He'll give you all you need

When you're cryin' and you're hurtin'

And nothing else is workin'

All you gotta do is just believe

In this beat up Bible

In this beat up Bible, yeah"

I was holdin' her hand

When she was on her way home

She said, "Baby, don't cry

I'm goin' to see the one who rolled away the stone"

Yeah

I can hear her sayin'

"Baby, when you're prayin'

Give Him all your words, He'll give you all you need"

I'm cryin' and I'm hurtin'

And nothing else is workin'

And so, I open up the pages and start to read

This beat up Bible

Dusty on the shelf

Worn out and torn up

Don't look like much but it gets you through hell
