(If your computer is slow like mine,
it'll take at least two minutes to load this .wav file,
but it's worth the wait to hear George Jones singing)






"Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me."

There's a family Bible on the table

Its pages torn and hard to read,

But the family Bible on the table

Will ever be my key to memory.


At the close 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.





Chorus


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."


This old world of ours is full of trouble,

But this world would, oh, so better be

If we'd find more Bibles on the table,

And mothers singing "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me."





Chorus


I can see us sitting 'round the table

When from the family Bible Dad would read;

And I can hear my Mama softly saying

"Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me."
