(God put a song in the heart of an angel)
(And softly she sang it to me)
You know I get to thinking a lotta times
about back when I was a boy
The old homeplace where I grew up
Of the days both good and bad.
My overalls were hand-me-downs
My shoes they were 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 yet our homefire never flickered once
`Cause when all these things went wrong
Mama took the hymn book down
And mama sang a song.
(What a friend we have in Jesus)
Oh, I`ve been rocked to sleep many a night
To the tune of ``What a Friend``
And come morning ``Rock of Ages```
Why it would wake me gently once again.
And then dad he`d reach up
And he`d take the Bible down
And he`d read it
Read it loud and long.
And I always felt that maybe
our home was blessed
When daddy would say
Mama sing a song.
Let see sister left home first I guess
And there was Bob and then Tommy and at last was Dan
By then dad`s hair was turning white
And I had to be my mama`s little man.
But it seemed that as daddy`s back grew weak
My mother`s faith just grew that much strong
And those were the greatest days of all
It was there when mama sang a song.
(Rock of ages cleft for me let me hide myself in Thee)
I guess the house is still standing
I don`t get to go back there anymore
Least much no voice is left to fill those halls
And I bet there ain`t even no steps to grace the floor.
`Cause you see my mama sings in heaven now
Up around God`s golden throne
But I`ll always believe that this world is a better place to live
Because one time my mama sang a song.
