Lyrics
I remember from my childhood
All the good things life could bring
A mom and dad who loved me so
and were my everything
They taught me about faith and God
and all the things that's true
I'm thankful for my simple life
and how I made it through
CHORUS
The cookouts were a family treat
on long hot, summer days
And how we'd go to church and sing
of Christ the living way
Now as I ponder years gone by
Precious memories flood my soul
I know and I appreciate
The ones who loved me so
But nothing can compare to when
that I was born again
When Jesus came into my heart
and forgave me all my sin
It makes me long for heaven's shore
as tender moments pass
My life is full of time I love
To reminisce on all I have
TAG
I know and I appreciate the One who loves me so.
