Family Bible Lyrics - Brown Jim Ed

Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me. 

There's a fam'ly bible on the table 

Each page is torn and hard to read 

But the fam'ly 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 fam'ly bible 

And we'd count our many blessings one by one. 

Refrain: 

I can see us sittin' 'round the table 

When from the fam'ly 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 troubles 

This old world would oh, so better be 

If we had more bibles on the table 

And mothers singing Rock of Ages cleft for me. 

Refrain: 

I can see us sittin' 'round the table 

When from the fam'ly 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...
