One More Believer
Bobby Pinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make him question who's in charge
And then you ask me to believe
What I can't see
My T.V. sold me some sin
Said anything goes, so I bought in
I've tried it all a time or two
I've said your name in vain before
I've let the devil drive my Ford
Read Jesus save on a bathroom door
Just before I passed out
How come you didn't strick me dead
Sent me and angel insted
She sing in the choir
And I'm hell on the preacher
But God you got you one more believer
She lays out the Sunday clothes I wear
Without her I ain't got a prayer
God you got you a good one there
Shinin' your light
And I'm no expert on the word
I can't quote you chapter and verse
But I've heard you love the worst of ones too
And I'm the proof
I've let the devil drive my Ford
Read Jesus save on a bathroom door
Just before I passed out
How come you didn't strick me dead
Sent me and angel insted
She sing in the choir
And I'm hell on the preacher
But God you got you one more believer
I've let the devil drive my Ford
Read Jesus save on a bathroom door
Just before I passed out
How come you didn't strick me dead
Sent me and angel insted
She sing in the choir
And I'm hell on the preacher
But God you got you one more believer
Oh God you got you one more believer
