Prayer and A Bible

Hard times in a wasteland
Runnin' from my shame
Chasin' down another dead end
That don't numb the pain
I was searchin' for sweet relief
Like a lion, You called for me

I found freedom
Tradin' chains for my salvation
Holy fire from Heaven sparked revival
And I found healin'

In those ancient words of wisdom
I found what I was missin'
Livin' on a prayer and a Bible

You're my manna in the desert
You're my daily bread
Ain't nobody do it better
The way my soul gets fed

I found freedom
Tradin' chains for my salvation
Holy fire from Heaven sparked revival
And I found healin'

In those ancient words of wisdom
I found what I was missin'
Livin' on a prayer and a Bible
On a prayer and a Bible

Gimme that John 3:16
A little bit more of You and me
That's all I need for survival (that's all I need)

Gimme that Genesis to Revelation (that's all I need)
Hold my hand through tribulation (that's all I need)
Livin' on a prayer and a Bible

I found freedom (oh-oh)
Tradin' chains for my salvation
Holy fire from Heaven sparked revival (revival)
And I found healin'

In those ancient words of wisdom (yeah, yeah)
I found what I was missin'
Livin' on a prayer and a Bible

John 3:16
A little bit more of You and me (on a prayer and a Bible)
That's all I need for survival

Gimme that Genesis to Revelation
Hold my hand through tribulation
Livin' on a prayer and a Bible (livin' on a prayer and a Bible)
