During world war II
a group of solders was on a long jurney
they arrived on a small town called casino
the next day being Sunday some of the boys went to church
after the preacher had read the prayers the text was taken up
The solders who had prayer books took them up
then one boy, a young private produce a deck of cards
and he spreads them up infront of them
The sargent in charge saw the cards and said solder!
put away those cards..
After the service, the solder was put under arrest and brought before the commanding officer
The C.O said sargent!. why you brought this Man here
for playing cards in church sir
the officer look at the solder and said
I hope you have an explanation. If not I will punish you more than any solder ever been punish
now what have you got to say
and so the boy began his story..
Sir, I have been on the march for six days
I had no Bible and a prayer book
but I have these cards
you see sir..
when I look at the AAs..
it remainds me there is but one God
when I see the dous it remainds me the Bible is divided into two parts
the old and the new testaments
when I see the tris I think of God the father, the Sun and the holy Gost
Sir, when I see the four I think of the four great deciples that preach the gosple
they ware Mattew, Mark, Luke and John
the five remainds me of the five wise virgins with theire lamps
Five ware wise and ware save
Five were folish and were cast out
when I see the six I know in six days God makes heaven and earth
and the seven brings to mind on the seventh day he rested and call it holy..
when I look at the Eight..
I think of the rightous persons God save when he distroyed this earth
they ware Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives
when I see the nine, I think of the lappers our saviour cleans and nine of the ten didn't thanked
I look at the ten, and Ithink of the ten commamdment God give to moses on a table of stone
the king tells me once again there is only one king of heaven God almighty..
and the Queen, Our bleesed vergin Marry.
The Queen of heaven
the jargon name is the devil
when I count the numbers sport on my deck of cards I found 365 the number of days in a year
there are 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year.
there are 4 suits.. the number of weeks in a month
and there are 12 picture cards the number of months in a year
So you see sir, my deck of cards has served me as a Bible and a prayer book
The charge against the solder was dismised..
Folks this is a true story because I knew

Deck Of Cards Lyrics Don Williams Jr
When I first heard this song, I was a little boy growing up
Down in the state of South Carolina
The song had been written and recorded by a man named
T. Texas Tyler
The song in it's original form related to something that
Happened during the second World War
Last year, early in 1991, when things were going kinda crazy
Over on the other side of the world, I remembered this old song
And I rewrote the first part of it to fit the situation
The second part of it I left like it's been all of these years
Because you can't improve upon perfection
I'd like to dedicate this tonight to all the Veterans
To their families, their loved ones
And everybody that loves this country

The Deck Of Cards Lyrics
It was a sweltering hot Sunday morning in the Saudi Arabian desert
And a young soldier sat alone in his tent, deep in thought
A picture of his wife and children back home in the United States
Rested on a table nearby
His mind began to wander across the miles
Back to other Sunday mornings that seemed so long ago
Now and so far away, he thought of home
And he knew that when this day dawned in America
His family would go to church to pray for his well-being
And his safe return
The young soldier reached into his bag and he took out
A deck of playing cards
He began to spread them out across his bunk
About that time, one of his buddies came by and said
'You gonna get up a game?', 'No,' the soldier replied
'I'm gonna spend a little quiet time with the Lord'

'Looks like to me you're playing cards,' his friend said
'No, you see, I don't have my Bible and since we can't
Display our religion in public, here, I brought along this deck
Of cards' and with that, the young boy started his story
You see when I look at the Ace, It reminded me
That there is but one God and the Deuce reminds me that
The Bible is divided into two parts
The Old and the New Testaments
When I look at the Trey, I think of the Father, the Son
And the Holy Ghost
When I see the Four, I'm reminded of the four Evangelists
Who preached the Gospel
There was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
And when I see the Five, I think of the five wise virgins
Who trimmed their lamps, there were ten of them
Five were wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out
And when I look at the Six, I'm reminded that in six days
God made this great heaven and earth
The Seven reminds me that on the seventh day
God rested from His great work
When I see the Eight, I think of the eight righteous persons
God saved when He destroyed this old world
There was Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives
And when I look at the Nine, I think of the lepers
Our Saviour cleansed
Caesars online app. And nine out of the ten, didn't even thank Him
And when I see the Ten, I think of the Ten Commandments
God handed down to Moses on the table of stone
When I look at the King
It reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven
God Almighty
The Queen reminds me of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Queen of Heaven and the Jack or Knave is the Devil
When I count the number of spots on a deck of cards
I find 365, the number of days in a year
There's 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year
There's 4 suits, the number of weeks in a month
There's 12 picture cards, the number of months in a year
There's 13 tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter
So you see, my friend
This deck of cards serves me as a Bible
As an Almanac and as a Prayer Book
And friends, this story is true
I know because I know that soldier
