There's a place that I return to When the world turns upside down All I have to do is listen To those sweet old gospel sounds And the words sound so familiar Like some long-forgotten friend When I sing old hymns
"Shall we gather at the river" Puts a smile back on my face And my burdens all are lifted When I hear "Amazing Grace" Gathered 'round an old piano Let the memories rush in When I sing old hymns
We seem so sophisticated In these modern times we live We forget the simple comfort "Keep me near the cross" can give Just a line of "Rock of Ages" Lets me hide in Thee again When I sing old hymns
"Shall we gather at the river" Puts a smile back on my face And my burdens all are lifted When I hear, "Amazing Grace" Gathered 'round the old piano Let the memories rush in When I sing old hymns
Gathered 'round the old piano Let the memories rush in When I sing old hymns When I sing old hymns
