Mamas Bible Mamas Bible, so ragged and worn, Its pages are scribbled, ripped and torn. Its been around for ages, shes had it for years, Some pages smudged by rain and some by her tears The name on the cover is faded, its true. There might be a page missing, or two. To look at that book one might scoff and frown They may say, Why, theres no use in keeping it around. A new Bible, Im certain, is what you must need, With pages so perfect, and pictures indeed. But friends, I know better and Im here to persuade Theres more in that ol book, more than I can say. For she read it and held it so close to her heart, Its Knowledge and Wisdom and Love to impart. She held it so tightly, through storm and through chill, But ever much closer when her children were ill. Her faith can be seen on each page and each line, Her writings of love time after time. She carried it high through thick and through thin, So proud of the holy scriptures contained within. Of all of the treasures in this world we can hold, The Bible of mom so ragged and old. Is far more precious than any other, For it was given to her by her dear mother. No memory is more precious, none that I hold so dear, When the storms of my life bring me much fear The vision of mother, the love on her face . . . I remember when mama would sing Amazing by Stephen Esterline
