(God put a song in the heart of an angel and softly she sang it to me) I get to thinkin' lotta times about when I was a lad Of the old home place where I grew up of the days both good and bad My overalls were hand-me-downs shoes full of holes I used to walk four miles to school every day through the rain the sleet and the cold I've seen the nights when my daddy would cry For the things that his family would need But all he ever got was a badland farm and seven hungry mouths to feed And yet and somehow our homefire never flickered once Cause when all the things went wrong Mama took the hymn book down and mama sang a song (What a friend we have in Jesus) I've been rocked to sleep many a night to the tune of What a Friend Morning come Rock of Ages it gently wake me once again Then daddy'd reach up and take the Bible down and he'd read it Read it loud and strong And I always felt that maybe our home was blessed When daddy'd say mama sing a song Sister left home first I guess then Bob and Tommy and Dan By then dad's hair was turning grey and I had to be mama's little man But it seemed that when dad grew weak mom's faith grew strong And I think those were the greatest days of all when mama sang a song (Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee) I guess the old house is still standin' I don't go back much anymore No voice is left to fill those halls no steps to grace the floor For you see mama sings in heaven now round God's golden throne But I'll always believe that this old world is a whole lot better place Because one time my mama sang a song (precious mem'ries flood my soul)
