[VERSE 1]

D G/D A/D D

I brushed some pine needles off of memories today

My fingers traced a stone etched with a date and a name

Of simple country lady so gentle yet so strong

She didn’t have a lot but there was something that she knew

And whenever she would kneel beside her little rocking chair

She’d turn her simple home into a holy house of prayer

D G/D A/D D

Everyone has someone in your life you can recall

D G/D A7/D D A/C#

A constant source of strength for you whenever you would fall

And when you felt so lonely in times of desperate need

E7sus E7 Gmaj7/A D/F#

You knew that you could count on them to be down on their knees

To our heroes of the faith
