"Bible For A Boy (For Jaycee)" lyrics

Buy a Bible for a boy 'fore he's even one year old
King James bound in leather and his name engraved in gold
'Cause one day, he'll pick it up when he puts down them toys

Buy a Bible for a boy

Buy a Bible for a boy, he'll hang a cross up in his truck
And he'll say his first "Lord, help me" prayer on his way to pick her up
And he might not believe it yet, and that'll be his choice

Buy a Bible for a boy

'Cause you can't buy your faith or the answer to life's questions
You can't pay your way for a ticket into Heaven
Take it from a man who finally heard that red letter voice

Buy a Bible for a boy

Buy a Bible for a boy, and when life starts throwing punches
He'll open it and learn about a man who knows what tough is
There's a stirring in his heart and a yearn to fill that void

So buy a Bible for a boy

'Cause you can't buy your faith or the answer to life's questions
You can't pay your way for a ticket into Heaven
Take it from a man who finally heard that red letter voice

Buy a Bible for a boy

Buy a Bible for a boy, and he'll never forget
Two pink lines and nine months, he'll have one that looks like him
First thing he's gonna do for his little pride and joy

Is buy a Bible for a boy
