More Than a Name on a Wall Lyrics

Song by Jimmy Fortune

I saw her from a distance
As she walked up to the wall
In her hand she held some flowers
As her tears began to fall

She took out a pen and paper
As to trace her memories
She looked up to Heaven
And the words she said were these

She said, “Lord my boy was special
And he meant so much to me”
And oh I’d love to see him
Just one more time you see

All I have are the memories
And moments to recall
But Lord could you tell him
He’s more than a name on a wall”

She said, “He really missed the family
And being home on Christmas day”
And he died for God and country
In a place so far away

I remember just a little boy
Playing a war since he was three
But Lord this time I know
He’s not coming home to me

She said, “Lord my boy was special
And he meant so much to me”
And oh I’d love to see him
But I know it just can’t be

So I thank you for my memories
And the moments to recall
But Lord could you tell him
He’s more than a name on a wall

Lord could you tell him
He’s more than a name on a wall

I Believe Lyrics

Dailey & Vincent, Jimmy Fortune

When I see the sunrise in the mornin
When I feel the wind blow across my face
When I hear the sound of children playin
I know it’s all part of Gods’ amazing grace

and I believe, there’s a place called Heaven
and I believe, in a place called Calvary
I believe in a man who’s name is Jesus
and I believe, that he gave his life for me…

I was there the day my momma went to Heaven
I held her hand, as she closed her eyes to sleep
and I felt the power, of ten thousand angels
take her soul away, to be crowned at Jesus feet

and I believe, there’s a place called Heaven
and I believe, in a place called Calvary
I believe in a man who’s name is Jesus
and I believe, that he gave his life for me…
and I believe that he gave his life
for me

Precious Memories Lyrics

Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred past unfolds

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

As I travel on life’s pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hopes grow fonder
Precious memories flood my soul
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
Precious sacred scenes unfold

Far Side Banks Of Jordan Lyrics

Song by Jimmy Fortune

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I’ve got a journey on my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
and my one regret is leaving you behind

And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

If it proves to be his will that I’m the first to go
And some how I’ve a feeling it will be
When it comes time to travel likewise don’t feel lost
For I will be the first one that you’ll see

And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

Through this life we’ve laboured hard to earn our meager fare
It’s brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
I’ll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
And then you’ll come then we’ll see paradise

And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.
