F C
There’s a family bible on the table
Am D G
Each page is worn and hard to read
C F C
But the family bible on the table
F C G C
Will ever be my key to memory.
F C
At the end of day when work was over
Am D G
And when the evening meal was done
C F C
Dad would read to us from the family bible
F C G C C7
And we’d count our many blessings one by one.
F Bb F
I can see us sitting ‘round the table
C
When from the family bible dad would read
F C
I can hear my mother softly singing
F C G C
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
G D
This old world of ours is full of trouble
Bm E A
But this world would also better be
D G D
If we found more bibles on the table
G D A D
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
CHORUS X2
G C G
I can see us sitting ‘round the table
D
When from the family bible dad would read
G D
I can hear my mother softly singing
G D A D
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
G D A D
Rock of ages, rock of ages cleft for me.
