Family Bible

(Paul Buskirk - Claude Gray - Walt Breeland)
 There's a family Bible on the table
 It's pages torn and hard to read
 But the family Bible on the table
 Will ever be my key to memory.
 At the close 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 sittin' 'round the table
 When from the family Bible dad would read
 I can hear my mother softly singin'
 Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
 This old world of ours is full of trouble
 This old world would also better be
 If we'd find more Bibles on the tables
 And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me.
 I can see us sittin' 'round the table
 When from the family Bible dad would read
 I can hear my mother softly singin'
 Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me...
