IN MY BIBLE
In My Bible
Is a crocheted bookmark that my grandma made me
A picture of my brother's newborn baby
A crayon thank-you note my oldest nephew wrote
For taking him to church with me last Sunday 

In My Bible
Is a dried rose petal from my sister's wedding
My family tree in my momma's writing
A faded funeral flyer from when my grandpa died
First time I ever saw my daddy crying             

     Every day I celebrate my family and my faith            
     In times of trouble they're my comfort and my strength            
    From the first time on my knees till the last breath that I'll breathe            
    The help I need to guide me through this life is In My Bible  

In My Bible
Is a letter from my best friend now in heaven
A bulletin from the day of my baptism
My favorite bedtime prayer that I've said through the years
To remind me of the blessings I've been given             

     Repeat Chorus

In My Bible

Ink
Writers:  Carey Latham

21 days and we got us a habit
6 weeks ‘fore we see the change
Daryl Singletary said it
Too much fun there’s no such thing
And an epiphany call it destiny 
A tattoo shop flashin’ no waiting 
Comin' off the heels of a week of feels
Could getcha’ hooked on ink

Chorus 
That’s how I tell it
That’s how I show it 
That’s where I put it
When my heart finds love or it gets broken, 
When I’ve lost my way 
When I find my way
When a set of wings is all there's left to say
A flag, a cross, a verse, a dream 
It’s only skin deep
But it feels so good to put it in ink

V2
We grow up on a street and then we leave it
But it’ll always be our way back home
Fightin’ for our country’s freedom
Some give all, some think it’s wrong
Yeah we back our team, win or losin’ streak
Love our mamas play our music cranked
Passion runs high in hearts like ours
A tattoo’s our song

Chorus 
That’s how we tell it
That’s how we show it 
That’s where we put it
When our heart finds love or it gets broken 
When we’ve lost our way 
When we find our way
When a set of wings is all there's left to say
A flag, a cross, a football team
It’s only skin deep
But it feels so good to put it in ink

Bridge
A heart in the sand’s 
left behind at the beach
A heart in the bark 
stays rooted at the tree
But a heart on a sleeve 
Yeah a heart on a sleeve 



Chorus 
That’s how we tell it
That’s how we show it 
That’s where we put it
Like carrying around a lucky token
When we’ve lost our way, when we find our way
When a set of wings 
Is all there’s left to say
A flag, a cross, a verse, a dream 
It’s only skin deep
But damn, it feels so good to put it in ink

Yeah it feels damn good to see it in ink
