[Verse 1]
I use 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 said that just believing is the key to it all
And that I'm forgiven every time I fall

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, mama's bible tells me so

[Verse 2]
When it rains I know he's crying 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

[Verse 3]
All I'd loved are 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 it's pages I was worn
And as to life for both of us oh Gabriel blow your horn

[Outro]
And I'll trust in mama's bible till it's time for me to go
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
