Underlined
by Billy Gaines

Album: The Best of Billy Gaines

I found my mother's Bible
It was just the other day
I watched the treasures of her heart
Unfold with every page
She had underlined the words of truth
She wished to emphasize
I found myself all teary-eyed
Yet pleasantly surprised
Well, she's gone to be with Jesus now
Of her thought I can't inquire
I could not have found more clear
A written will of her desire

Underlined
Were the words about commitment
Underlined
Were the words about contentment
Underlined were precious promises
That calmed her doubts and fears
Underlined were words that spawned the love
She'd shown throughout the years
I remember most the things she emphasized
I knew her heart by things she underlined

I still can plainly hear her say
Son, you follow God
Like passing an eternal torch
To light the path I trod
Traces of her teachings
Find their way in all my thoughts
A proof that God has granted her
The answer that she sought
Looking back on all she did
One thing comes to mind
The reoccurring theme of love
That her life underlined

Underlined
Were the words about commitment
Underlined
Were the words about contentment
Underlined were precious promises
That calmed her doubts and fears
Underlined were words that spawned the love
She'd shown throughout the years
I remember most the things she emphasized
I knew her heart by things she underlined

She could not have known
There's no way she could see
That those simple underlines
Would mean so much to me, yeah

Underlined
Were the words about commitment
Underlined
Were the words about contentment
Underlined were precious promises
That calmed her doubts and fears
Underlined were words that spawned the love
She'd shown throughout the years
I remember most the things she emphasized
I knew her heart by things she underlined
I knew her heart by things she underlined

The things that she underlined
They mean so much to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
