THE BLOOD OF JESUS BY STEVE TRIPP, DENNIS AUBREY AND DAVE HILDER

The Blood of Jesus

I took a walk, on a Sunday morning

down to the old church, at the edge of town.

Outside that church I saw three old men drinking

Sitting on a park bench,  pass the bottle of wine around.

One man sees God, and another sees the devil

in his own reflection, in a glass of wine.

Praise be to the man, who sees the danger

of the slithering snake that, twists upon the vine.

Inside that church, the congregation

took the holy communion, in their usual way.

But the wine they drank, was the blood of Jesus.

Then everybody got down on their knees, and began to pray.

One man sees God, and another sees the devil ...

When the wine ran out, at the bottom of the bottle

An old hat hit the pavement, as the sun went down.

And then those good old boys sang, ‘Fare thee well Titanic’

and the evening choir sang harmonies, all around.

One man sees God, and another sees the devil ...

Now hear me well, and tell your children

of the risk they're taking, in the name of fun.

You know that drunk, sitting over there, dinking on a park bench

can emerge from deep inside of, everyone.

One man sees God, and another sees the devil,

in his own reflection, in a glass of wine.

Praise be to the man, who sees the danger,

of the slithering snake that, twists upon the vine.

Watch out! For, the slithering snake, that twists upon ... the vine.
