Jones, George - Family Bible Lyrics






There's A Fam'ly Bible on the table
Each page is torn and hard to read
But The Fam'ly Bible on the table
Will ever be my key to memories.

At the close of day when work was over
And when the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from The Fam'ly Bible
And we'd count our many blessings one by one.

[Chorus:]
I can see us sittin' 'round the table
When from The Fam'ly Bible Dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me.

This old world of ours is full of troubles
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 sittin' 'round the table
When from The Fam'ly Bible Dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages cleft for me...

  7. L.... A....

    ❤❤❤GEORGE JONES 🎸🙏🌅🌹❤

  8. S.... B....

    My Mother sang this in church a lot way back when I was growing up in the hills of WV.

  9. d.... r....

    Great steel work with chromatics.

  10. w.... h....

    i love this song

  11. B.... J....

    The best there ever was or ever will be. I saw him through all the levels he had. Good and bad. No one knows the devils our neighbors live with.

    I loved him then and I love him now. I cannot wait to hear him sing “live” again.

  12. P.... N....

    Dedicated to my late Father and Mother who in Brooklyn New York City when I was a child my loving Parents thought me and brothers and sisters about the Bible and to live on every word I feel so bless.thank you Yashua Jesus Christ for my loving Parents S.and R.Pitter.

  13. R.... B....

    Sounds great George!

  14. O.... R....

    only version I can listen to from start to end... Prob Wesley Dennis could do just as good if ever he decides...

  15. K.... K....

    Pages torn? No scotch tape ? .. I remember a Native telling me he had torn up a bible, claiming that a priest had abused him as a child, and therefore, so he hated God. .. Judas Iscariot - Jesus said that He chose them, his disciples, but that one of them was a devil.
    .. You can only trust them who have received of His Spirit, but how will you know who has? In John Carpenter's movie, The Thing, they devise a blood test. But genetic heritage will not tell you who is a jew. Only true believers are able to say, "jesus christ is lord", the letter t in 'christ', being not a "silent letter". I met a chinese person and asked him if the ginseng came in tablet form. And he said, "t-t-ta-ble-t". I do not think he could speak english, but he was able to pronounce the letter t, as in, T Mall.

    K.... K....

    Anybody who accuses me of being a
    sodomite has never
    forgiveness. There are only 144,000 servants
    of the Lord : see, rev 14 : 1-4, kjv.
    Nor do they have forgiveness who
    have added to or
    subtracted from what I have written. The Holy
    Ghost bares witness, that such as those, hate
    the spirit of truth, who do such things.
    They are sodomites who
    desire to know other males. They invented
    rituals such as giving of testimonies or
    confessions for that specific purpose - to know
    other males. And they will attempt to destroy
    the reputations of they whom He has annointed
    so that they might as satanists continue
    portraying themselves as jews or as christians.
    Wherefore, again I warn ye to stay away from
    Organized Religion, condemn eugenicists
    ("racists"), and most importantly learn to think
    for yourselves. .. Simply because a man is not
    married, does not make him a sodomite. And I
    will minister to whomever the Lord sends me to
    minister to, whether widow, politician, sodomite, or
    serial killer. A publican, I think, is a bartender, a
    businessperson, politician, or entertainer, for such
    have much dealings with "the public".

  16. K.... K....

    .. the key to memories .. Noah, his brothers and sisters did not receive the invite to escape The Flood, did they? .. Cain slew Abel. Ham, and the brothers of Canaan, did not desire, seek after, wisdom. But canaan growing up in darkness, cursed by that surrounding ignorance, desired light (His Word). .. from the time of Seth to Abraham to Solomon, some desired His Word, drew near, or did not stray from .. Jesus said that The Seed is the word of God .. see, lu 8, kjv. ..

    We all need bibles on our tables. And to obey it's words.

  18. B.... F....

    Wonder if Ole George, would have been as successful or popular; if he only sang Gospel Songs.
    Many popular entertainers, who sang Gospel Songs, sounded better than singing their own songs.
    Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Jim Reeves and many, many more. Most had the same problem, their love of money; the root of all evil. They didn't & don't comprehend that money alone isn't evil; just the love of money.

  19. r.... s....
