Bible and Prayer
by Brush Arbor

Album: Forgiven

I remember hearing stories when I was a kid
About an upper room from Bible days
How the Holy Ghost came down with fire
Sounding like a rushing wind
I can see Reverend Riddle with sweat on his face
And his Bible held so high
Shoutin', "Listen! Here's where it all begins"

Bible and prayer
That's how the flame got started
Bible and prayer
That's why the fire still burns
You can gain the world
And lose your soul
You can go through the motions
While love grows cold
Nothing can take the place
Of Bible and prayer

It was a Sunday night service many years ago
The girl of my dreams sittin' next to me
Somewhere in between Bible reading and prayer
I took her hand
Married soon after at the foot of the cross
And through all these years we've known
Love only lasts when you follow the plan

Bible and prayer
That's how the flame got started
Bible and prayer
That's why the fire still burns
You can gain the world
And lose your soul
You can go through the motions
While love grows cold
Nothing can take the place
Of Bible and prayer

Bible and prayer
That's how the flame got started
Bible and prayer
That's why the fire still burns
You can gain the world
And lose your soul
You can go through the motions
While love grows cold
Nothing can take the place
Of Bible and prayer
No, nothing can take the place
Of Bible and prayer

Oh, Bible and prayer

Read your Bible
Take the time to pray, ooh...
Read your Bible
Get on your knees and pray, ooh...

Read your Bible
Take the time to pray
Read your Bible and pray
