Family Bible

There's a family Bible on the table its pages torn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table will ever be my key to memory
I can see us sittin' round the table when from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
[ steel ]
This old world of ours is full of trouble but this old world would also better be
If it had more Bibles on the tables and mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
I can see us sittin' round the table...
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
