Mama's Old Bible | Old Country Gospel Hymn 🙏

Mama's Old Bible – an old-time country gospel hymn about the worn leather Bible on the shelf, the prayers in its margins, and the faith a mother leaves behind. Put it on while you rest, pray, or remember the ones who first taught you to love the Lord. 📖 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." – Isaiah 40:8 (KJV) 🎵 Lyrics On a shelf by the window where the morning light falls Sits a worn leather Bible by the pictures on the wall The pages are thin and the corners are torn It's been carried through sorrow, it's been carried through storms There's a ribbon in the Psalms where she'd stop and she'd pray There's a tear-stained page from a long-ago day In the margins she wrote in her careful old hand "Lord, help me to trust what I can't understand" Mama's old Bible, it still speaks to me Of a rugged cross and a Savior's victory When the world turns cold and I've lost my way I open those pages and I hear her pray Every promise she held is still holding me In Mama's old Bible, there's a light for me She read it to us by the kitchen lamp glow When the winter was long and the fire burned low She'd say, "Children, the world will pass away like the grass But the Word of the Lord is the one thing that lasts" Mama's old Bible, it still speaks to me Of a rugged cross and a Savior's victory When the world turns cold and I've lost my way I open those pages and I hear her pray Every promise she held is still holding me In Mama's old Bible, there's a light for me Now she's walking on streets made of gold And the Lord wiped the tears from her soul But she left me the treasure she loved best of all That old Bible on the shelf by the wall Mama's old Bible, it still speaks to me Of a rugged cross and a Savior's victory When the world turns cold and I've lost my way I open those pages and I hear her pray Every promise she held is still holding me In Mama's old Bible, there's a light for me By the window light Mama's old Bible 🙏 Do you still have your Mama's or Grandma's Bible?
