Family Bible Songtext
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
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
And this old world
would also better be
If we'd found more Bibles
on the tables
And mothers singing
rock of ages, cleft for me

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
