Songs From the Old Red Back

Songs From the Old Red Back

Verse
He handed me a Red Back Hymnal with a smile on his face
He said it ain’t the Holy book but it’ll help you along the way.
It tells how the victory is won and that our Savior is the Son,
Saving all the wretched souls like me
It talks about the old rugged cross where He died to save the lost
How the Lord was sent to set my old heart free

Chorus
WE SANG “Amazing Grace” and “How sweet the sound”
songs from the red back hymnal brought be back around
when I am down --and out and my life off track
Comfort comes these days when I look back, to songs from the old red back

Verse
I thumbed through its pages as I sat and took my place
Then joined the precious singing with the song “O Happy Day”
It turned my life around to hear the dear old gospel sound
Flowing from the pages back at me
Like an old familiar friend happy to see me once again
As the choir sang "Come Unto Me"

Hear the blessed savior, calling the oppressed.
Oh ye heavy laden, come to me and rest
Come no longer tarry, I your load will bear
Bring me every burden, bring me every care

Verse
They took me to this home and dropped me off without a thought
Not a thing for me to do but SIT AND hear the nurseS talk
Then one day I heard those songs that I used to sing along
It stirred my heart and blessed this soul of mine
I had found a place with them that felt like home once again
Singing songS like This little light of mine

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it Shine, Let it Shine, Let it Shine

Leaning, Leaning, safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning Leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms

When the Roll is called up yonder,
When the Roll is called up yonder,
When the Roll is called up yonder,

We'll Sing “Amazing Grace” and “How sweet the sound”
songs from the red back hymnal brought be back around
when I am down --and out and my life off track
Comfort comes these days when I look back,
When I am down and out, my life off track, comfort comes these days when I look back
