Will Hoge - Bible vs. Gun Lyrics
Oh Mother, are you sleeping?
And did you pray for me tonight?
'Cause I'm alone here on this front-line
Hoping I might get back home alive
And I feel the bombs explode
I close my eyes and pull this trigger
And kill these people that I don't even know
Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done
I hope I can still get home to heaven
I wish I had a Bible instead of this damn gun
I got sixty pounds upon my back
All day long, clearin' burned-out shacks
All these things I know I'll never understand
Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done
I hope I can still get home to heaven
I wish I had a Bible instead of this damn gun
Oh I wish I had a Bible instead of this damn gun
That I was safe away from harm
But every time I close my eyes
Mama, I wish you could hold me in your arms
Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done
I hope I can still get home to heaven
I wish I had a Bible instead of this damn gun
Mother, please forgive me
For these things that I have seen and done
I hope I can still get home to heaven
Oh I wish I had a Bible instead of this damn gun

Will Hoge Bible vs. Gun Comments
She did a great job and I really like Will but I have to admit this video brought back some real bad memories of 4 years I spent in some place chasing some guy named Luke.

wording should have been like 4 seconds longer...
Why isn't this in the iTunes Store? This has made me cry every single one of the 900 times I've listened to it. Because I pray for peace, but I know war.
ugh... listen.. Jacob was black.. Esau was white.. the white man is not in the bible.. nor is it written for them.. they stole it and turned it against The Hebrew.. learn to read..
figure out what you are and you will know who you are..
people have got to be kidding me.
Considering that religion is to blame for so many wars, the bible [ and any other 'holy' book ] is as likely to be deadly in your hands as the gun.
Yeah , but right now i's Islam. The Bible has been at peace for a long time. Know thy enemy. Wake up. It ain't the Bible.
@Jacob Tothe the vast majority of wars in this worlds history were fought over religion. If that is a fact you cant wrap your head around you need only look at a few books. Only recently (the last 100 years approximately) have wars been waged for reasons other than religion. Even now in 2015 war is waged predominately on religion. We as americans did not throw stones at arabs, the muslims have simply "awakened a sleeping giant" much like Japan did in WW2. "the religion of the state" has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that muslims as a whole want to rule the world. if you read the quran or even a part of it you couldnt possibly have an argument. Im personally not religious at all but my beliefs matter not to the situation as a whole. i dont knock religions but they do in fact, start wars....i.e. shut the fuck up
@kadon schlechty you don't need a pencil to misspell
Idk man I knew much more war and violence BEFORE I opened that book. Now, I know grace and love. God bless you in your struggles.
Clifton Lloyd - You my friend are obviously blind as to what radical Islam is intent on bringing. Now you STFU!

Part if that is from a video thing this guy in the Marine Corps did to show how bad it really was and if you see it CoD and games like that are not that much fun. It's like ten tapes and each one is like ten days!!! Took me 20 day to watch it. He died when he got right as someone told him he was now a Genral.!!!! Must see if 13+ thx. Great job to her, and what's her name, I think I know her!.. Tell her great job !!!!!

GREAT video to go along with a TERRIFIC song.
I extremely like this song!
inshallah you come out of iraq or affgnsthan with a sfe return..
an when getting back .you yourself need to tell yur govment to stop interfering in other peoples offers and fighting that wich there crated .. the message is simple.. if the u.s govment didnt creat theres monsters there wouldnt have this problem but even so .. you yourself are fighting for the truth or that wich you think is the truth.. and to allah thos the fight for pice and gesent opresson allah(s.w.a) loves um. jazallah
No wepon is greater than God and His word, the Bible. They fight hard and risk there lifes and we should be thankful for them, and look at how disrespectful some people are. God bless America and the US Amy, Navy, Air Force, and the Marines.
@willy2727 Americas involvment is for ONE reason and ONE reason only. THEY ARE ASKED TO by the country that they are fighting in, remember that next time you spout off ignorance about our Troops. They are more courageous and Heroes than you will ever know in your pitiful, wasteful life!
