Bm
God put a song in the heart of an angel,
Em
A
D
And softly she sang it to me.
I get to thinking lots of times
G
D
about back when I was a lad,
G
of the old home place where I grew up,
D
of the days both good and bad.
F#
My clothes were hand -me -downs,
Bm
E
my shoes were full of holes,
A
I used to walk four miles to school every day through the rain,
the sleep, and the cold.
D
I've seen the nights when
my daddy would cry
for the things that his family would need,
G
but all he ever got was
a badland farm
D
and seven hungry mouths to feed,
And yet, and yet our home fire
never flickered once.
A
When all these things would go wrong,
D
Mama took the hymn book down,
Bm
D
and Mama sang a song.
Verse 2
G
What a friend we have in Jesus
Verse 3
D
I've been rocked to sleep,
many a night,
to the tune of What a Friend.
E
A
Rock of Ages would wake me gently once again,
and then Daddy would reach up,
D
and he'd take the Bible down,
and he'd read it, read it loud and long.
And I always felt that maybe
when Daddy would say,
Sister left home first, I guess,
and then Bob,
and then Dan.
D
By then, Dad's hair was turning white,
and I had to be my mama's little man.
G
But it seemed that as Daddy's
back grew weak,
D
my mother's faith just grew strong.
G
And those were the greatest days of all,
when Mama sang a song.
Em

I guess the house is still standing.
I don't get to go back much anymore.
G
No voices left to fill those halls
A
and no steps to grace the floor.
D
G
D
For you see, my mother sings in heaven
D
now around God's golden throne.
G
But I'll always believe
D
G
that this world is a better place
because one time my mama
Em
A
Precious memories flood
C#
D
my soul.
