Lyrics
Verse 1:
When my time shall come to leave this world below,
I won't have to take a thing this much I know.
Whenever, Lord, it's time for me to leave down here,
please let me take my bible for a souvenir.
Chorus:
With your word, I'll raise my children to walk the narrow way,
I've always kept it near me night and day.
And I know I'll not need it, but it's been a friend so dear,
please let me take my bible for a souvenir.
Verse2:
When I lose my way, it's there to guide right.
It gives me company when lonely is the night.
Whenever, Lord, it's time for me to leave down here,
please let me take my bible for a souvenir.
