[Verse 1] I came up hard, but I came up clean Mama kept Psalms in the car seat seam Had mud on my boots, had grace on my name Tried to break me down, still I stayed the same I got scars on my hands, and praise in my chest When the world got cold, I leaned on the best On bad days, I pray, then I press on by With a worn-out book and fire in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] When the rent due loud And the phone go still I bow my head And I know He will When my knees get weak And my faith get light I reach for truth And I hold it tight [Chorus] Live, Love, Laugh, Cry But keep my Bible by my side Live, Love, Laugh, Cry Yeah, keep my Bible by my side When the road get rough And the tears don’t dry Live, Love, Laugh, Cry But keep my Bible by my side [Verse 2] I seen good folks fall, and I seen them rise Seen truth come slow in a child’s first eyes Seen fools talk big with a pocket full of pride Then the storm roll in, and they had to hide Me, I learned peace from a holy page Learned how to breathe in a lonely age If joy come quick, I still thank Him long If pain come back, I still sing my song [Pre-Chorus] When the room feel cold And the night feel long I hear that hope Like a church bell song If my voice shakes low I still make it right I reach for truth And I hold it tight [Chorus] Live, Love, Laugh, Cry But keep my Bible by my side Live, Love, Laugh, Cry Yeah, keep my Bible by my side When the road get rough And the tears don’t dry Live, Love, Laugh, Cry But keep my Bible by my side [Bridge] [Breakdown] I don’t need gold I don’t need fame Just mercy on my tongue And grace in my name If I lose my way Let the pages guide Till I’m home again With my Bible by my side [Final Chorus] Live, Love, Laugh, Cry But keep my Bible by my side Live, Love, Laugh, Cry Yeah, keep my Bible by my side When the road get rough And the tears don’t dry Live, Love, Laugh, Cry But keep my Bible by my side (keep my Bible by my side) (keep my Bible by my side)
