We can't stop time you know
But we can roll back the years,
With memories we treasure
Some bring laughter and some tears.

As I sit and recall memories of my life
I have so many to be thankful for,
Memories are mine and I'll treasure them
I have too many to ignore.

Love isn't love till you give it away
I believe it to be true,
Doesn't take a lot to make people happy
Just a simple "I love you".

Forgiveness is the final form of love
And it takes a big person to forgive,
Especially when the hurt is so bad
It's hard this day in which we live.

Jesus Christ is the great I Am
He was, He is,and will always be,
Everything that He created
Was created for you and me.

If you have memories hold on to them
They can get you through hard times,
I have enough memories to last awhile
Stored up in this heart of mine.

I thank the Lord for my memories
And for me being able to see,
That if it were not for Jesus
There would be no good memories for me.
