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 hallelujah hallelujah mama s bible tells me so 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 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 and i ll trust in mama s bible till it s time for me to go hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
