Ball and Bible

Ball and bible
Jesus in your pocket

Before the next game
Says a prayer
Fingertips on pages of God

Stroking leather through cotton
Looks to the sky and pounds his heart

Didn’t know Jesus wore sneakers
Preached from the bleachers

Saving lost teams
 Flip through the scriptures

Try to find some truth
Found out Jesus was a Sixer
Spirit of 1776

Eating popcorn in the seats
Ball and a Bible
So prophetic

Make this shot sit with the angels
Through the pages of time

Make that shot you’ll live on
Through the stains of our history

Hear some rhythm on the court
Bouncing basketball on Parquet
