There?s a family bible on the table
Each page is worn and hard to read
But the family bible on the table
Will ever be my key to memory.
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
I can hear my mother softly singing
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
This old world of ours is full of trouble
But this world would also better be
If we found more bibles on the table
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
CHORUS X2
I can see us sitting ?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.
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
