One Hand On The Bible, One Foot In That Grave (James Pate, June 4, 2018)
Brothers and sisters As we travel through this world Walking right beside us Is the devil and his hoard
They are trying to tempt us Through riches, power and fame To deny our Lord and Savior And denounce His Holy Name
(So let us)
Sing of our Savior Who died upon the Cross And took into that darkened tomb The sins of all the lost
(Yes let us)
Sing of His Glory For salvation give Him Praise Keeping One hand on the Bible With one foot in that grave.
From the day that we are born, Till the time we leave this Earth, This life is just a little test To show God what we're worth
We can listen to the devil From the narrow path to stray Satan's telling us don't worry You're sure to have another day.
(But let us)
Sing of our Savior Who died upon the Cross And took into that darkened tomb The sins of all the lost
(Yes let us)
Sing of His Glory For salvation give Him Praise Keeping One hand on the Bible With one foot in that grave
I was just another sinner Lost to this old world Being tossed about to and fro By old Satan and his hoard
But Jesus came into my life And snatched me from hell’s brim By His Grace He forgave my sins Now I belong to Him
(So now I)
Sing of my Savior Who died upon the Cross And took into that darkened tomb The sins of all the lost
(Yes let me)
Sing of His Glory For salvation give Him Praise I'm Keeping One hand on the Bible With one foot in that grave

Do you have music to those lyrics? Good morning Sarge. These are lyrics I wrote Monday. I have the melody but since my fingers are fused I can't play guitar or keyboard anymore. I'm going to record the accapela version today. At least croak out a verse and refrain. How are you doing these days
