Old Black Bible

VERSE
I can still picture from my childhood
The old black Bible next to Daddy's chair
We would sit each night around the fireplace
And from that precious Bible he would share
 
CHORUS
How I love that old black Bible
A lamp that lights the path to lead the way
How I love that old black Bible
So dear to me in my heart it will stay
 
VERSE
One day I left home with the Bible
That Dad and Mom had given just to me
I soon would teach its truth to my own children
Its power to change in their lives I could see
 
CHORUS
 
Now time is passing I grow older
Though torn and worn that Bible stays with me
Though I will soon go home to meet the Master
Its words I'll cherish through eternity
 
CHORUS
