Family Heirlooms ft. Chet & Donna Cahela Lyrics

She raised 12 kids on little she made a lot with her own hands

A bag of flour, a little lard she had biscuits in a pan

She had few things to leave us, but what she left is very dear

I still hear her whisper these heirlooms in my ear

Always live for Jesus always be a good girl

Always love your momma stay away from things of this world

My precious family heirlooms can't be touched bought or sold

They're in my heart forever, to tell and be told

Her house became a haven for sinners saints and strays

She always talked about the Lord and how one could be saved

Her godly soul came shining through, her love was free to give

Those precious family heirlooms taught us how to live

Always live for Jesus always be a good girl

Always love your momma stay away from things of this world

My precious family heirlooms can't be touched bought or sold

They're in my heart forever to tell and be told

Now that I'm a granna with grand girls of my own

I worry about their future and what might come along

I think back to my maw maw and the words she passed to me

And I tell these precious heirlooms to my family

Always live for Jesus, always be a good girl

Always love your momma stay away from things of this world

My precious family heirlooms can't be touched bought or sold

They're in my heart forever to tell and be told
