Church On The Porch

Church on the Porch
Writer: Sundi Jo Graham (BMI)


Verse One:

I remember Daddy singing to that out of tune guitar
His calloused hands played to the hymns in his heart
After Sunday supper on those warm Summer nights
That porch swing became a pew as he sang “I Saw the Light”

Chorus:

Church on the porch, what a sweet memory
Singing songs about Jesus as the wind blew through the trees
Clapping hands and tapping toes to a holy melody
Church on the porch, what a sweet memory

Verse Two:

It didn’t matter where you came from or who you were
All walks of life were welcome to that old front porch
Mama’s arms were always open with a loving embrace
And the whippoorwills chimed in as she sang “Amazing Grace”

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

It doesn’t just happen in a building
No, it can happen anywhere
Cause where two are more are gathered
Jesus is there….

Repeat Chorus
