The Family Bible

The Family Bible - Bobby Bare

Rock of ages

Rock of ages cleft for me

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

Cause 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

Now 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 rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
