    • Verse 1
    God 
    put 
    a 
    song 
    in 
    the 
    heart 
    of 
    an 
    angel 

    An
    d 
    softly 
    she 
    sang 
    it 
    to 
    me 

    You 
    know, 
    I 
    get 
    to 
    thinkin' 
    a lot 
    of 
    times 
    about 

    back 
    when I 
    was a 
    boy, 
    the 
    old 
    home 

    place 
    where I 
    grew 
    up, 
    of 
    the days 
    both 
    good 
    and bad, 

    while 
    my over
    alls 
    were 
    hand 
    -me -downs, 

    my 
    shoes 
    were, 
    they 
    were 
    full 
    of holes. 

    I 
    used 
    to walk 
    four 
    miles 
    to 
    school 
    every 
    day 
    through 
    the 
    rain, 

    through 
    the sleep, 
    and the 
    cold. 

    I've 
    seen the 
    nights 
    when my 
    daddy 
    would 
    cry 

    for 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    his family 
    would 
    need, 

    but 
    all 
    he ever got 
    was 
    a badland 
    farm 

    and 
    seven 
    hungry 
    mouse 
    to feed. 

    And 
    yet, 
    yet 
    our 
    home 
    fire 

    never 
    flickered 
    once, 

    Cause 
    when 
    all 
    of these 
    things 
    went 
    wrong, 


    Mama took 
    the 
    helm 
    down and 

    Mama 
    sang 
    a song. 

    What 
    a 
    friend 
    we 
    have 
    in 

    Jesus. 

    Oh, 
    I've 
    been rocked 

    to sleep 
    a many 
    a 
    night, 

    to 
    the 
    tune 
    of 
    what 
    a friend 
    and 
    come 
    morning 

    rock 
    of 
    ages 
    why 
    it 
    would 
    wake 

    me gently 
    once 
    again 
    and 
    then dad 

    he'd reach 
    up 
    and he'd 
    take 
    the 

    Bible 
    down 

    and 
    he'd 
    read it 
    read 
    it 
    loud 
    and 
    long 
    and 
    I 

    always 
    felt 
    that 
    maybe our 
    home 

    was blessed 
    when daddy 
    would 
    say 
    mama 

    sing 
    a song 
    now 
    let's 
    see 
    sister 
    left 

    home 
    first 
    I 
    guess 
    and 
    there 
    was 

    Bob 
    an
    d 

    Tommy 
    and 
    the last 
    was 

    Dan 
    but 
    then 
    dad's 
    hair was 

    turning 
    white 
    and 
    I 
    had 
    to be 
    my mama's 
    little 
    man 
    but 
    it 

    seemed that 
    his 
    daddy's 
    back 
    grew 
    weak 

    my mother's 
    faith 
    just 
    grew 
    that 
    much 
    stronger 
    and 

    those 
    were the 
    greatest 
    days 
    of 
    all 
    yes 
    they are 

    When 

    Mama 
    sang 
    the 
    song 

    Blood 
    of 
    angels 

    Cleft 
    for 
    me 

    Let 
    me 
    hide 

    My
    self 
    in 

    Thee 

    I 
    guess 
    the 
    house 
    is still 
    standing 

    I 
    don't 
    get to go 
    back 
    there 
    anymore, 

    at 
    least much 

    No 
    voices 
    is 
    left 
    to fill 
    those 
    old halls 

    I 
    bet 
    there ain't 
    even 
    no steps 

    to grace 
    the 
    floor 

    Cause 
    you 
    see 
    my mama 

    sings 
    in 
    heaven 
    now 

    Up 
    around 

    God's 
    golden 
    throne 

    But 
    I'll 
    always 
    believe 

    that this 
    world 
    is 
    a 

    Better 
    place 
    to 
    live 
    because 
    one 
    time 

    My 
    mama 
    sang 
    a 
    song. 

    Precious 
    memories 
    flood 
    my 
    soul.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
