In God We Trust

While on my way to Church one Sunday morning Along the road I saw a car broke down I stopped to see if I could help the driver And he said I sure could use a ride to town While riding into town just making small talk He saw my Bible laying on the seat He said that's one book there I don't believe in Then he said these frightening words to me I really don't believe in God or Heaven And I don't think there really is a Hell Then I said you need to listen to this story This old country boys about to tell Every time you reach into your pocket And you pull out a bill to pay the man You need to read what's printed on that dollar Cause the words In God we Trust are in your hand Then I reached downed on the seat and got my Bible And I held it out and put it in his hand I said my Mother gave this book to me some time ago Then she said son, someday give to a friend Then we rode off into town and not a single word was said I dropped him off, I shook his hand, he just nodded his head Then I went on to Church and as I heard those Church bells sound I knew someday, somehow, someway this lost soul would be found Then the days turned into weeks and the months turned into years And his path and mine would never cross again Then just the other evening, a knock came at my door There a young man stood with a Bible in his hand He said, sir you don't know me But you once knew my Dad And this Bible I am holding Is the one that you once had He said about twenty years age His car broke down And you picked him up along the road And drove him into town He said you held this Bible out And put it in his hand He said you said some words to him He said you called him friend This morning, I've lost track of time I guess about six or seven My father looked at me and smiled Then the Lord took him to heaven But the other day, he said son The day that my life ends Take this book home where it belongs And give to my friend When he handed me the Bible Not a single word he'd say I shook his hand, he smiled at me Then he turned and walked away When I opened up the Bible It was then I'd understand Cause he had written on the cover In God we Trust is in our hands
