Backstory:

   After a close relative died, I brought home one of her Bibles, and the items she had tucked inside, as well as the underlined verses and crinkled pages, touched me. I knew she used and loved that Bible, and it was a treasure store, both in its words and the keepsakes it held. I wanted others to hear about "a lifetime of faith I could see."                                                                                                                                                                             

Lyrics:

                                                  
They Mean the World to Me

VS 1 
Her Bible well-worn with tear stains in places
The verses of hope that saw saw her heart through 
Some flowers she pressed as wedding day keepsakes
From the love of her life who left earth far too soon

CHORUS
    My grandmother saw them as treasures
    Her Bible and those memories 
    They wouldn’t mean much to the rest of world 
     But they mean the world to me

VS 2
A clipping about the beauty of Heaven
A card from her class that said, We miss you
An envelope filled with dollars for giving
A prayer list with names and mine was there, too

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Her valleys and shadows
Her comforts and vict’ries
All there in those pages
A lifetime of faith I could see

CHORUS
