lyrics
I was reading my Bible ‘bout 1 AM
I was praying, praying
I needed to know about the Great I Am
Who is holy, yes holy
I read the stories and I couldn’t believe
I was a doubter, doubter
So many miracles I couldn’t conceive
But I had to, I just had to
Reading through my Bible
Searching for the truth
Praying to the Father
To forgive the sins of my youth
I read it all I didn’t compromise
No cheating, no cheating
I learned the devil is the father of lies
He’s a liar, such a liar
I read about the end and a place called hell
People are wailing, wailing
It’s not a place that’ll suit me well
I’m praying, oh I’m praying
Reading through my Bible
Searching for the truth
Praying to the Father
To forgive the sins of my youth
I read that heaven is the place to be
I believe it, I believe it
It’s where I want to live for all eternity
Forever, yes forever
Salvation is a gift that is offered to you
Freely, freely
Accepting Jesus is all you’ve got to do
And repent, repent
Read through your Bible
Search for the truth
And pray to the Father
To forgive the sins of your youth
Reading through my Bible
Searching for the truth
Praying to the Father
To forgive the sins of my youth ...
