  • 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 singin' power in the blood
    Oh there's power (power) power (power) wonder working power
    in the blood (in the blood) of the lamb (of the lamb)
    There is power (power) power (power) wonder working power
    in the precious blood of lamb
