The Bible sits on the coffee table
The center of the home
As it should be, naturally,
The heart of God’s word
The Bible makes its mark on me
And every family
That has lived in this rural place
We call Appalachia
The Bible is a healing word
A quiet touch
During a struggling hour
The good book is filled with love
The Bible teaches these people
To go to the nearest church
Fall down at the alter on knees
Bent to receive salvation from above
The Bible is a part of each home
That knows about Jesus love
And understands we’ll be meeting
Him up in the air after death
The Bible is used by the preacher
The missionary and grandma
To reveal the way, truth and life
All that was Jesus’ mission on earth
The Bible is a part of my heart
It whispers through my mind
Revealing pieces of God’s lesson
To accompany me through this world
