[F] [C] [F]
When mother crossed over [Bb] the river [F] of Jordan, she had no treasures to leave [Am] on this [Fm] earth.
[C] She [F] left me her Bible [Bb] to guide [F] me to heaven, worth more than the silver gold on this earth.
[Bb] [F] Mother left me her Bible [Bb] to guide me [F] to heaven, to show me the way to the [C] beautiful [F] gate.
[C] I [D] know she'll be [F]
waiting [Bbm] for me at [F] the portal, where she left me her Bible to show me the way.
[C] [F] [Bb] [F]
When just a small boy [Bb] in her arms she [F] would take, she read from the Bible and [C] taught me to pray.
Someday [F] I know [Bb] I'll need her in [F] heaven, that precious old Bible [C] to show me [F] the way.
Mother left me her Bible [Bb] to guide [F] me to heaven, to show me the way to the [C] beautiful gate.
[F]
[C] [F] I know she'll be waiting [Bb] for me [F] at the portal, where she left me her Bible to [C] show me [F] the way.
