Sacred mem'ries often take me to the place where I grew up
Em A
And that little country church that I love so much
D G D
I used to go there every time that old church bell would ring
G D A D
And I remember how I love the songs we used to sing
D G D
Like " Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you
Em A
If heaven's not my home, oh, Lord what will I do?"
D G D
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
A D
And I can't feel at home in this world any- more
D G D
They were singing, "Lord I'm Coming Home" when I got saved
Em A
And when I got baptized they sang, "Amaz- ing Grace"
D G D
And oh, how sweet the sound when every- body would join in
G D A D
And sang my favorite song, "If We Never Meet A- gain" ---
G D
Where the charming roses bloom for- ever
Em A
And where separation comes no more
D G
If we never meet again this side of heaven
D A D
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
D G D
My mama loved to sing and she sang clear and loud
Em A
I can close my eyes and I hear mama now
D G D
I re- call the song my mama always loved so much
G D A D
She always sang the loudest sangin', " Power In The Blood"
D G D
Oh there's power, power wonder working power
A D
In the blood of the lamb
G D
There is power, power wonder working power
A G D
In the precious blood of lamb ---
