I used to be afraid of dying when I'd think about having to go
Now I know I'm gonna live forever, Mama's Bible tells me so
It says that just believin' is the key to it all
And that I'm forgiven every time I fall
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Mama's Bible tells me so
When it rains I know He's cryin' for the love of all mankind
And He hurts inside just like us when He's left behind
But I know He is my shepherd and He'll never walk away
Because He gave us Jesus for a friend on Judgment Day
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Mama's Bible tells me so
When all I'd loved or cared for had either changed or gone
I reached for Mama's Bible for strength to carry on
Like my heart it gathered dust, like its pages I was worn
Now there's new life for both of us so Gabriel blow your horn
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Mama's Bible tells me so
And I'll trust in Mama's Bible till it's time for me to go
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
