IF THERE’S A ROCKING CHAIR IN HEAVEN

VERSE 1

The big two story farmhouse was her castle

Her man of forty years, her shining knight

The rocker on her front porch was her chapel

There she’d rock and pray and hold her baby tight



VERSE 2

Her family and her children gave her pleasure

With thirteen kids she never was alone

When they were all together she was happy

Til the Lord called her youngest baby home



CHORUS 1

If there’s a children’s choir in heaven, they’re singing

And another singer just joined in the song

Because its momma sang Amazing Grace then there’s a smile on the baby’s face

But its momma still a rockin’ there at home



VERSE 3

I’ve heard it said that home is where the heart is

And her heart went with her little one I know

For years and years she’s rocked out there a dreamin’

Until yesterday the Lord let momma go



CHORUS 2

If there’s a rocking chair in Heaven she’s rocking

If her mansion has a big front porch she’s there

If there’s a rocker found in all that place

Then there’s a smile on the babies face

Momma sweetly singing over there



TAG

If there’s a rocker found in all that place

Then there’s a smile on the babies face

Momma sweetly singing over there
