Lyrics

Mama Read from the Bible

Mama would sit up in her rocking chair
Reading her bible, for all to hear.
That Precious Bible, was sadly worn
And some of the pages were creased and torn

Mama read from the Bible, by the kitchen light
Wood stove burning, on a cold dark night
Every word she read, it touched my soul
Mama read from the Bible, every night at home

Daddy'd come in late from doing his chores
then we'd all gather on the living room floor
She’d clear her throat, and then start to read
Of God's Love and Mercy, for you and me

Mama read from the Bible, by the kitchen light
Wood stove burning, on a cold dark night
Every word she read, it touched my soul
Mama read from the Bible, every night at home

Now that chair’s empty, But I hear her still
Reading her Bible, clear as a bell
I know she's in glory, and I'll join her soon
Cause she read the Bible, every night at home

Mama read from the Bible, by the kitchen light
Wood stove burning, on a cold dark night
Every word she read, it touched my soul
Mama read from the Bible, every night at home
