Lyrics

The old house was still standing
Andt he paint was cracked and dry.
The windows were all broken
But I had to go inside.
I walked into the living room
where I played as just a boy.
And the memories all came back to me
When I heard my mama's voice.
She was singing an old lullabye,
Thanking the Lord above for a family
That brought pure joy and precious love.

I walked into the kitchen and
The room was cold and bare.
I remembr Sunday dinner and
I heard my Daddy's prayer,
"Jesus please be with us,
Thank you for the food we eat
Forgive us Lord for all our sins
and pray our soul's to keep.
Thank you for the life we lead.
Thank you Lord above for a family
That brought pure joy and precious love."

The old house was abandoned,
But the memories remain.
As I left for home that evenign
I wasn't quite the same
I missed my wife and children
And hurried home that night
To show how much I loved them
And kissed and held them tight.
I sang my kids a lullabye and
Thanked the Lord above for a family
That brought pure and precious love.
That brought pure joy and precious love.
