Sacred mem'ries often take me to the place where I grew up

And that little country church that I love so much

I used to go there every time that old church bell would ring

And I remember how I love the songs we used to sing

Like oh Lord you know I have no friend like you

If heaven's not my home oh Lord what will I do

The angels beckon me from heaven's open door

And I can't feel at home in this world anymore



They were singing Lord I'm coming on when I got saved

And when I got baptized they sang amzaing grace

And oh how sweet the sound when everybody would join in

And sang my favorite song if we never meet again

Where the charming roses bloom forever and where separation comes no more

If we never meet again this side of heaven I will meet you on that beutiful shore



My mama loved to sing and she sang clear and loud

I can close my eyes and I hear mama now

I recall the song my mama always loved so much

She always sang the loudest sangin' power in the blood

Oh there's power power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb

There is power power wonder working power in the precious blood of lamb

Sacred mem'ries
