The full saying is "Cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye, swear on a stack of Bibles." This phrase is often used informally to emphasize the sincerity or truthfulness of a statement or promise. The addition of "swear on a stack of Bibles" further reinforces the seriousness of the commitment being made.
