Mother I'm leaving and I'm proud to go please don't be grieving I love you so
|
Here in this pocket over my heart is the Bible you gave me your gift as we part
|
My country needs me you know that's true pray for me mother till this war is through
|
God will protect me you must be brave mother I thank you for the Bible you gave
|

Mother I'm writing this letter to say I love my Bible I read it each day
|
And when I read it my body's drawn near the blessed scripture they love to hear
|
Mids all this turmoil of earthly things what peace and comfort the Holy word brings
|
Mother don't worry I will be saved mother I thank you for the Bible you gave
|
[ guitar ]
|
Mother the battle just has been won you'll have a hero now for a son
|
I have been wounded left there for that God in his mercy spared me instead
|
My Bible saved me it played its part it's stopped the bullet aimed at my heart
|
Your blessed present my life has saved mother I thank you for the Bible you gave
|
