D              G                  D
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 ---
