It was an honor to sing "The Songs Live On" at First Baptist Church, Indian Trail, NC on Mother's Day!
My voice was a bit croaky from having a head cold but it was such a blessing to be there! Lyrics below:
Song Title: THE SONGS LIVE ON

VERSE I
GRANDMA'S FINGERS DANCED ACROSS THE IVORY KEYS,
LIKE A BUTTERFLY FLOATIN' IN THE WIND.
SHE SMILED AS WE SANG ALONG IN HARMONY.
HOW I WISH I COULD SEE HER FACE AGAIN.
MANY YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
SINCE THE GOOD LORD CALLED HER HOME,
OH, BUT I'M COMFORTED TO KNOW...
CHORUS
THE SONGS LIVE ON IN ME.
THE SONGS LIVE ON FOREVER IN MY MEMORY.
THE WORDS THAT WE SANG
WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN MY HEART.
THE SONGS LIVE ON.
VERSE II
THE PIANO THAT SHE PLAYED HAD SEEN SO MANY YEARS.
SOME OF THE KEYS WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE A SOUND,
BUT SHE KEPT RIGHT ON PLAYIN', HER EYES FILLED WITH TEARS,
BECAUSE SHE LOVED THE ONE THAT WE SANG ABOUT,
AND THOUGH I WAS A LITTLE CHILD,
A SEED WAS PLANTED DEEP INSIDE,
AND THE TRUTHS THAT I LEARNED WILL NEVER DIE.
BRIDGE
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MELODY.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE TUNE.
IT'S ABOUT A MAN NAMED JESUS
WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ME AND YOU!
