Life is like a camera~

Echoes of Time~

The steeple stands so proud

 The echoes are still there
 When I listen very close
 I hear singing in the choir

And preaching was a plenty
 The Sabbath was its day
 That old altar was the key
 Most humbly they did pray

Those old weathered boards
 Oh what stories to be told
 The congregation was all there
 And the bell chimes were gold

They came from far and near
 Parked under trees with shade
 In the dirt where they sat
 Many wagon tracks were made

The mules were so content
 As they grazed on green grass
 Slightly peaking their ears
 When a big Amen was passed

Plenty of shouting and rejoicing
 Still hangs in every crack
 No memories will ever be lost
 Nor echoes will it lack

Such a big part of history
 And a grand, old Godly place
 It touched so many hearts
 With beauty, dignity and grace

That old door is still open
 Just like it was before
 Calling, calling to someone
 Come on in there's still more

Listen closely to each sermon
 There's many left to hear
 "Amazing Grace" still echoes
 Through the wooded path so clear

In this ever changing world wouldn't it be nice to go back to this simple time.. We need God in our hearts more so today than ever before.

I do not know of another state- Where I would rather be " Than this great state I'm living in- And that is Tennessee. I love the stars dearly- And there are surely three That show the Grand Division- Of my home-land, Tennessee. Where could you find a meadow- With grass so vividly green? Where could you find the mountains- With such majestic scene? You will never find so bright a moon- To shine down from above You will also see the robin- The wren, and the turtle dove. And don't forget the rivers- Where visitors long to stay. And many have voice in parting,- 'I'm sure glad I passed this way.' You will see the cattle grazing- Beside a cotton field; And there's the Grand Ole Opry- And a feeling it's all God's will. I have lived here all my life- It's where I'm going to be Although I've traveled quite a bit,- I'll still take Tennessee! Oh, I sure love the state I'm in: "The great state of Tennessee!"
