Heirloom

Bruce and I will most likely be doing this song Sunday morning. I just love the words. We first heard it at the Smokey Mountain Christmas production at Dollywood and then our church secretary had the CD of the Hooker Sisters singing it so we've been able to learn it and I'm very excited about singing it. It's true of how I feel about my family and especially my Lord.


Up in the attic
down on my knees
lifetimes of boxes
timeless to me
Letters and photographs
yellowed with years
Some bringing laughter
some bringing tears
Time never changes the memories
the faces
of loved ones they bring to me
All that I come from
and all that I live for
and all that I'm going to be
My precious family
is more than an heirloom to me
Wise men and shepherds
down on their knees
bringing their treasures
to lay at His feet
Who was this Wonder
baby, yet king
Living and dying
He gave life to me
Time never changes
the memory
the moment his love
first pierced through me
All that I come from
and all that I live for
and all that I'm going to be
My precious Saviour
is more than an heirloom to me
My precious Jesus
is more than an heirloom to me
