Precious Memories sung by Patty Loveless

Precious mem'ries, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
As the sacred past unfold.

Precious mem'ries, 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
I know not what the years may hold
And as I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious mem'ries floods my soul.

Precious mem'ries how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold...

Two Coats sung by Patty Loveless

Two coats were before me
An old and a new
I asked my sweet Master
Oh what must I do

The old coat was ugly
So tattered and torn
The other a new one
Had never been worn

I'll tell you the best thing
I ever did do
I took off the old coat
And put on the new

The first man was earthly
And made from the ground
We bore all his image
The whole world around

The next was my Savior
From Heaven so fair
He bought me this new coat
You now see me wear

I'll tell you the best thing
I ever did do
I took off the old coat
And put on the new

Now this coat it suits me
And keeps me so warm
It's good in the winter
It's good in the storm

My Savior has dressed me
In a garment so rare
He bought me this new coat
You now see me wear

I'll tell you the best thing
I ever did do
I took off the old coat
And put on the new

I'll tell you the best thing
I ever did do
I took off the old coat
And put on the new.........

Precious Memories sung by Patty Loveless

In the stillness, of the midnight.....Oh, Precious Memories
Unseen Angels, sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
As 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

Oh, Precious Father, Loving Mother
Back across the lonely years
And the home scenes of my childhood
In my memory appears

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

In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold
In the stillness, of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold......

Precious Memories sung by Patty Loveless

In the stillness, of the midnight, Ohhh
Precious mem'ries, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred past unfolds.

Precious mem'ries, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.

Oh, Precious Father, Loving Mother
Lie across the lonely years
And the home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appears.

Precious mem'ries, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.

In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold......

Rise Up Lazarus sung by Patty Loveless

Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Now Jesus went to Bethany
In answer to an urgent plea
Two sisters fell down at his feet
They began to cry and weep
They lead him to their brother's grave
Jesus knelt to God and prayed

Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released


Now doubters who would not believe
Spread the word of what they'd seen
Then they began to congregate
First two to four then four to eight
God watched faithful multiply
As they echoed Jesus Cried

Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Now all us children here on Earth
Sometimes doubt worldly worth
But if in Jesus you do trust
You will rise like Lazarus
So if your feelin' down and out
Open up your heart and shout

Rise up Lazarus
Rise up from the dust
If in Jesus you believe
Then you shall be released

Go forth John and Paul
Spread the Gospel to them all
Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Give them courage to believe
And they shall be released

Two Coats, sung by Patty Loveless, Composed by Ralph Stanley

Two coats were before me

The old coat was ugly
So tattered and torn

Had never been worn

 

I'll tell you the best thing

And put on the new

 

The first man was earthy
And made from the ground
We bore all his image

The next was my savior
From heaven so fair
He bought me this new coat
You now see me wear

 

I'll tell you the best thing

Now this coat it suits me
And keeps me warm
It's good in the winter
It's good in the storm

 

My Savior has dressed me

In a garment so rare

He bought me this new coat

You now see me wear

 

I'll tell you the best thing

I took off the old coat

And put on the new

 

I'll tell you the best thing

I took off the old coat

And put on the new

Friends In Gloryland
Sung by Patty Loveless a native of  Elkhorn City, Kentucky (Pike County)


  Friends in Gloryland
If you have friends in Gloryland
Who left because of pain
Thank God up there they'll die no more
They'll suffer not again

So weep not friends I'm going home
And we shall meet once more
To gather there around the throne
On that celestial shore

If you have friends in Gloryland

Daniel Prayed
Sung by East Kentucky natives Ricky Skaggs from Cordell, Kentucky (Lawrence County) and Patty Loveless from Elkhorn City, Kentucky (Pike County)

  Daniel Prayed
I heard about a man one day who wasted not his time away
He prayed to God every morning noon and night
He cared not for the things of man he trusted one who would not fail
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night

   Oh, Daniel served the living God while here upon this earth he trod
   He prayed to God every morning noon and night
   He cared not for the kings decree he trusted God to set him free
   Oh Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night

They locked him in the lion's den because he would not honor men
But prayed to God every morning noon and night
The jaws were locked and it made him shout, and God soon got them
safely out.
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night

  Oh, Daniel served the living God while here upon this earth he trod
   He prayed to God every morning noon and night
   He cared not for the kings decree he trusted God to set him free
   Oh, Daniel prayed to God every morning, noon, and night

Now brother, let us watch and pray like Daniel did from day to day
He prayed to God every morning noon and night
We too can gladly daring do and pray that God will see us through
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night

  Oh, Daniel served the living God while here upon this earth he trod
   He prayed to God every morning noon and night
   He cared not for the kings decree he trusted God to set him free
   Oh Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night
