I inherited a family bible from my grandparents and that is where I got the inspiration for the song. The song tells the importance of the word of God for our fore fathers and how we as a society have turned away from our simple faith to trust in modern convenience. We need to turn back to that simple faith that made our country great.

IBLE ON THE TABLE

There's a Bible on the table
That helps me to remember

Stories that my grandma used to tell and

Written on its pages are stories of the ages
B7 E7
And pages of my family tree

People from the old land

Came into a new land
D B7
So they could worship God and be set free
D E A D
Pictures of the past cast in plates of tin
bM E A
Telling stories all about my family tree

With the dangers of the wilderness

And a struggle for survival
D A
They put their trust in God to get them through

Yet they had a vision of a land and of a freedom
B7 E
God's word the only promise that they knew
A
And through their many struggles they were
D B7
Strong and they were able to live a life and raise a family
D E A D
This is the story of the trials and the glory

Written there in my family tree
