Daddy's Bible

Daddy's Bible
Sung by The Inspirations

Daddy called me to his bed
He said "I don't have long,
And I don't have many earthly things
That I can pass along"
He held a tattered bible
He placed it in my hand
He said "I hope to see you
In the blessed promise land"

It was just a tattered bible
Daddy gave to me
But it was all I needed
To bring me to my knees
And somewhere up in heaven
I know my daddy smiled
As an angel sweetly told him
How the Lord had saved his child

Tears filled my eyes when daddy died
I turned and walked away
I opened up his bible
And on a special page
I found my daddy's prayer list
My own name I could see
Though it was dimmed and faded
By the tears he shed for me.

It was just a tattered bible
Daddy gave to me
But it was all I needed
To bring me to my knees
And somewhere up in heaven
I know my daddy smiled
As an angel sweetly told him
How the Lord had saved His child

And somewhere up in heaven
I know my daddy smiled
For he has the joy of knowing
That the Lord has saved his child.
