One Hand on the Bible (Webber) ------- He said, "Do this in my memory just as I do now..." He took the Body and the Blood and He passed them all around Now just a child in a church in His name after all this time I've got one hand on the Bible and the other hand is reaching for the wine A sixteen-year-old lead cheerleader in her friend's living room Having trouble not doing some things Daddy warned her not to And for the next twenty years it was all downhill from that first sip she tried She had one hand on the Bible and the other hand was reaching for the wine And, oo, there's no turning back now Oo, gotta carry on somehow This past Tuesday that young woman was taken too soon The shell of a killer is an empty bottle, had every ounce of proof Tonight I'm here alone, staring through the window as God cries I've got one hand on the Bible and the other hand is reaching for the wine And, oo, there's no turning back now Oo, gotta carry on somehow Oo, I know God's got a better plan But, oo, I just can't--- I can't understand Been praying so hard, gotta say I've made up my mind I've got one hand on the Bible and the other hand is pouring out the wine I've got one hand on the Bible
