Precious Memories
I have such precious memories
of a church of long ago.
That's where I learned about God's love
and the joy I've come to know.
Week after week my family
walked through the church front door.
We always felt such peace at church
and felt God's blessings pour.
I grew up in that little church
for years I worshipped there.
I grew to love the young and old
for I knew that they did care.
Although a little child was I
I knew that God loved me.
You see these faithful friends of mine
taught me of Calvary's tree.
That church is where I asked the Lord
to come into my heart.
They baptized me and watched me grow
and encouraged me from the start.
As a child I did not know
the treasure that I had.
I grew up with a church family
who always made me glad.
Great memories of those folks I have
I cherish everyone.
From time to time I think about
each person one by one.
I'll never forget that little church
God blessed me that I know.
I thank God for the years I had
at that church so long ago.
