Seventy Years Ago |
Seventy years ago, my father’s mother’s father |
Led the clan of Nicholson |
He and my great grandmother had four lovely daughters |
And a strong and honest son |
And they traveled Arkansas and Oklahoma |
Building arbors made of vine |
And the people of the town would come at sundown |
Some to scoff and some to see what they would find |
And the sisters dressed in white |
And the family sang and prayed into the night |
And they rode in a covered wagon |
As they walked in holiness |
And they lived and preached the power |
And forgiveness of the Lord |
Seventy years ago |
Seventy years ago, there wasn’t much in preaching |
But it never slowed them down |
They loved the truth and all the hearts that He was reaching |
And their eyes were on the crown |
So they traveled Arkansas and Oklahoma |
With a burning in their souls |
And it drove them to their knees and to the next town |
For the sake of a wealth they could not hold |
And the sisters dressed in white |
And the people sang and prayed into the night |
And they rode in a covered wagon |
As they walked in holiness |
And they lived and preached the power |
And forgiveness of the Lord |
Seventy years ago |
Sometimes I feel like a pale reflection |
Living in the blessing they passed down |
Some of whom have held me |
Some never knew my name |
But the secret has been found |
And I want to give this to my children |
And when I am very old |
I hope there still will be a story worth the telling |
Of seventy years ago |
And they rode in a covered wagon |
As they walked in holiness |
And they lived and preached the power |
And forgiveness of the Lord |
Seventy years ago |
Seventy years ago |
Seventy years ago, my father’s mother’s father |
