Lyrics:
“Family Bible”
(originally by Claude Gray)
It’s pages worn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table
Will ever be my key to memories
At the end of day when work was over
And when the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
And we’d count our many blessings one by one
I can see us sitting ’round the table
When from the family Bible dad would read
And I can hear my mother softly singing
Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me
Now this old world of ours is full of trouble
This old world would also better be
If we found more Bibles on the table
And mothers singing rock of ages, cleft for me
I can see us sitting ’round the table
When from the family Bible dad would read
And I can hear my mother softly singing
Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me
Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me
Great song Willie and keep on playing your own music!
Thanks!
