There with the Bible

There is a wonderful
person I know.
There is a reason
why I love her so.
All through my childhood
she taught me the way.
My Mother read
from the Bible each day.

There with the Bible
she knelt to pray.
That's where you're liable
to find her today...
talking to Jesus
and calling my name...
Asking His blessings
to shield me from pain.

Train up a child
in the way he should go.
He'll not depart from that way
when he's old.
My Mother kept me
through pain and through strife.
My Mother fed me
the True Bread of Life.
