Written by Melvin Knoblett

	D	A7	D	A7
Intro

	D	G	D
I r	emember seeing Mama in that o	ld oak rocking c	hair

	D	E	A7
Beside the t	able where her B	ible was l	aid.

	D	G	E
She would c	lutch it every evening, hold it t	ight to her c	hest

	D	A7	D	A7
As she b	owed her h	ead and p	rayed.

	D	G	D
One S	unday, I had noticed when she w	rote into her b	ook,

	D	E	A7
And she m	arked it with a f	eather stained g	reen.

	D	D7	G	E
I p	eeked in	side to s	ee what she had s	aid,

	D	A7	D
She drew a c	ircle 'round J	ohn 3:	16.

And it Read:

	G	D
For G	od so love the world that He g	ave his only son

	A7
That whosoever shall believeth in H	im,

	G	D	Bm
Shall not p	erish from this earth, but have e	verlasting l	ife.

	D	A	D
Mama's B	ible, marked to r	ead it a	gain.

Instrumental Chorus

	D	D7	G	D
Well, now M	ama, she’s g	one from this e	arth here be	low,

	D	E	A7
And to h	er it's no l	onger a d	ream.

	D	D7	G	E
She will l	ive for	ever on those s	treets of pure g	old

	D	A7	D
That’s why she c	ircled 'round J	ohn 3:	16.

And it Read:

	G	D
For G	od so love the world that He g	ave his only son

	A7
That whosoever shall believeth in H	im,

	G	D	Bm
Shall not p	erish from this earth, but have e	verlasting l	ife.

	D	A	D
Mama's B	ible, marked to r	ead it a	gain.

Yes it said:

	G	D
For G	od so love the world that He g	ave his only son

	A7
That whosoever shall believeth in H	im,

	G	D	Bm
Shall not p	erish from this earth, but have e	verlasting l	ife.

Mama's B	ible, marked to r	ead it a	gain and a	gain
