VERSE 1
Amazing Grace was the lullaby my mama sang to me
I learned Jesus loves me while sitting on her knee
And Sunday mornings in our pew, the hymns would fill our hearts
Cares of life would disappear when we sang How Great Thou Art
PRE 1
And now as I’ve grown older, in the good times and bad
I’ve found Jesus is the dearest friend I’ve ever had…..
CHORUS
I still lean (I still lean) on His everlasting arms
I have a little talk with Jesus every day
I still cling (I still cling) to Mt. Calv’ry’s rugged cross
Where I first saw the light and my burdens rolled away
Oh those wonderful words of life
Keep me singin’ as the days go by
And I still love the songs
The songs I was raised on
VERSE 2

And tears fill my eyes when I hear their melodies
All those precious memories are flooding through my soul
Oh how they linger, they will never, never grow old…and
CHORUS
BRIDGE
These songs about my Savior are alive in me today
And as long as I have breath I’ll forever sing His praise…and
