Grandpa’s Bible brings a tear to my eye
Him holding it close just before he died

It traveled many a mile to and from church
All around town with souls to search

The leather is all worn and tattered now
I know in God's eyes it's a Blue Ribbon somehow 

The smell of his Old Spice on the cover
It isn't easy to imagine his life is over 

From cover to cover, his life shows God's Love 
I now commit him to his Heavenly Father above
