Many Sweet Memories

I have a good friend who posted a picture of an old church and talked about the many sweet memories she had of it.  This is for Janet.


Many sweet memories we had in that place
Of family and friends and God’s holy grace
These are the things even time can’t erase

They built the foundation, put in a floor
Raised up the walls and opened the door
And that was way back in 1804

It was out in the sticks, Gates County, NC
The Middle Swamp Baptist Church came to be
And with it a part of my life’s history

My grandparents, their parents and countless before
Gathered to see what God had in store
And together they founded a lasting rapport

Then down through the years, as God had intended
My parents, my sisters and I have attended
And our love for this church has never ended

Many sweet memories we had in that place
Of family and friends and God’s holy grace
These are the things even time can’t erase
