Family Bible

(Paul Buskirk - Claude Gray - Walt Breeland)



(Rock of ages, rock of ages, cleft for me)



There's a family Bible on the table

Each page is torn 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 all from the old 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

And I can still hear my mother softly singing

Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.



Now this world would oh, so much better be

If we'd find more Bibles on the tables

and mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me

Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me...
