[Verse 1]
   D                                 G                      D
I used to be afraid of dyin’ when I’d think about havin’ to go
       D                                  G              D
Now I know I’m gonna live forever, mama’s bible tells me so
    D                              G           D
It says that just believin’ is the key to it all
 D                     G             D
And that I’m forgiven, every time I fall
D     G A D   D    Bm G D     G      A              D
Hallelujah,   hallelujah,     mama’s bible tells me so
 
[Verse 2]
         D                               G            D
When it rains I know He’s cryin’ for the love of all mankind
        D                        G              D
And He hurts inside just like us when He’s left behind
       D                              G          D
But I know He is my Shephard and will never walk away
  D                            G                   D
Because He gave us Jesus for a friend on Judgement Day
D     G A D   D    Bm G D        G     A              D
Hallelujah,    hallelujah,      mama’s bible tells me so

[Verse 3]
     D                               G                 D
When all I’d loved and cared for had either changed or gone
     D                         G                 D
I reached for mama’s bible and strength to carry on
        D                                  G          D
Like my heart it gathered dust, like it’s pages I was worn
    D                                  G                  D
Now there’s new life for both of us so Gabriel blow your horn
D    G A D      D    Bm G D     G      A              D
Hallelujah,    hallelujah,      mama’s bible tells me so
