There was an old family Bible on the table
And by the look of it , it had been there for a while
Just waiting for someone to read it
To tell the old love story about a father and his child
Ch:
It’s the story of the God of love, who sent His Son from above
To be the Light for all mankind to see
He came to show us the way
And for our debt he came to pay
So that we could be part of His family
Eternally

The pages were worn from daily reading
And some were stained by the tears of answered prayer
Some bore the marks of hope and inspiration
For when the burdens of life seemed to much to bare
Ch: it’s the story of the God of love, who sent His Son down from above
To be the Light for all mankind to see
He lived to show us the way, and for our debt He came to pay
So that we can be part of His family
Eternally
Br:
The echos of the pages still find me on the dark and lonely days
They’re always there to remind me
Of my father’s family Bible
And the arms of God’s amazing grace
