Sacred Memories
Written & Recorded by Dolly Parton


            D        G          D
Sacred mem'ries often take me to the place where I grew up

                Em       A
And that little country church that I love so much

  D                 G            D
I used to go there every time that old church bell would ring

    G     D        A         D
And I remember how I love the songs we used to sing

    D           G           D
Like " Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you

               Em         A
If heaven's not my home, oh, Lord what will I do?"

   D            G        D
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door

                 A      D
And I can't feel at home in this world any- more


 D                   G         D
They were singing, "Lord I'm Coming Home" when I got saved

               Em       A
And when I got baptized they sang, "Amaz- ing Grace"

   D                   G         D
And oh, how sweet the sound when every- body would join in

   G         D       A        D
And sang my favorite song, "If We Never Meet A- gain" ---


      G              D
Where the charming roses bloom for- ever

           Em     A
And where separation comes no more

    D                G
If we never meet again this side of heaven

    D         A      D
I will meet you on that beautiful shore


  D            G          D
My mama loved to sing and she sang clear and loud

             Em       A
I can close my eyes and I hear mama now

    D            G         D
I re- call the song my mama always loved so much

   G         D          A       D
She always sang the loudest sangin', " Power In The Blood"


      D       G        D
Oh there's power, power wonder working power

    A       D
In the blood of the lamb

            G        D
There is power, power wonder working power

    A          G   D
In the precious blood of lamb ---
