FAMILY BIBLE Written by Walter Breeland, Paul Buskirk and Claude Gray (As performed by Willie Nelson) --Also recorded by George Jones There's a family Bible on the table Its pages worn 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 And I can hear my mother softly singing Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, cleft for me Now this old world of ours is filled with trouble This old world would oh so better be If we found more Bibles on the table 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 And 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 ©1988 Glad Music (BMI) Willie Nelson Lyrics | George Jones Lyrics
