This story had been circulating through the internet. It speaks of a soldier who used a deck of ordinary playing cards as an aid to prayer and meditation. This story dates at least to 1788. The popular song deck of cards (sometimes known as "A Soldier's Prayer Book") was writen in 1948 by "T." Texas Tyler and was recorded by , among others, Tex Ritter in 1948.

"The Deck of Cards" is a recitative that was popularized in both the country and popular music fields, first during the late 1940s. This religious, touching tale of a young American soldier arrested and charged with playing cards during a church service first became a hit in the U.S. in 1948.

Though Tyler wrote the spoken-word piece, the earliest known reference is to be found in an account/common-place book belonging to Mary Bacon, a farmer's wife, dated 20 April 1762. The story of the soldier can be found in full in Mary Bacon's World. A farmer's wife in eighteenth-century Hampshire, published by Threshhold Press (2010). The folk story was later recorded in a piece of 19th century British literature called "The Soldier's Almanack, Bible And Prayer Book"

Woodward Maurice Ritter (1905--1974), better known as Tex Ritter, was an American Country Music singer and movie actor popular from the mid-1930s into the 1960s, and the father of actor John Ritter. He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

I heard this song some 50 years ago and still love it. I am a Hindu by religion and we believe in all Gods as these provide guidance on how to live our life in harmony with not just fellow human beings but also with the animals around us and looking after the environment. The spirit of God lies within us and it is our conscience that guides us to the right path. This soldier's conscience was clear and saw god in a deck of cards similar to the way I see God in all forms including in Stones.
