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
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
