Sacred Memories
Sacred memories 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, then 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 Home" when I got saved
And when I got baptized they sang "Amazing Grace"
And oh how sweet the sound when everybody would join in
And sing 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 beautiful 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, singing "Power in the Blood"
Oh there's power power wonder working power
On the blood of the lamb
There is power power wonder working power
In the precious blood of lamb
