When Mother crossed over the River of Jordan she had no treasures to leave on this earth She left me her Bible to guide me to Heaven worth more than the silver and gold on this earth.
Chorus Mother left me her Bible to guide me to Heaven. To show me the way to the Beautiful Gate I know she'll be waiting for me at the portal for she left me her Bible to show me the way.
When just a small boy, in her arms she would take me She read from the Bible and taught me to pray some day I know I'll meet her in Heaven that precious old Bible showed me the way.
