Precious Memories

Alan Jackson, Precious Memories, You've never heard anything till you hear Alan sing the older hymns on this album, This is a must have if your an Alan Jackson Fan. Money Well spent.

Alan Jackson's Precious Memories was a Godsend at my mother's memorial service. She had wanted How Great Thou Art played and we stopped and bought Alan's CD on the way. When I listened to the entire cd on the way home I cried, laughed, and started the very beginnings of healing.
I later wrote a song based on how it made me feel called
The Music Lifted Me

I stand with emotions
Streaming down my face
Gathering with the others
In this motherless place

This day seems unreal
Such a sad, lonely day
But I'll lift up my voice
To sing and to pray

Because it lifted me
The music lifted me
When I thought nothing ever could
It lifted me, yes, it lifted me
And oh, the sweetness is good

"How great thou art"
lifted me
helped raise me from my grief

"In the garden"
touched my soul
made me sure of my belief

"Blessed Assurance"
comforted me
oh yes, "glory divine"

"Softly and tenderly"
evoked such memories
with just one perfect line

"Standing on the promises"
made me smile
even through the tears I cry

"I'll fly away"
ah yes, I will
hallelujah by and by

Because it lifted me
The music lifted me
When I thought nothing ever could
It lifted me, yes, it lifted me
And oh, the sweetness is good

I purchased Alan Jackson's Precious Memories CD a few weeks ago and listen to it everyday! I recommend this CD for anyone who LOVES the old time Christian Music that us Southern Baptist folks still sing today.
Alan has such an amazing voice and does these song justice.

Some of these are songs I have been singing since I could talk and others are newer favorites. I just listened to this CD for the first time and it moved me to tears. Alan Jackson sincerity and wonderful country voice bring these favorite hymns alive again and remind of us of the simplicity of the Christian faith. With a doubt the best album he has ever made.

This is the best hymn CD that I have found. I can listen to it over and over and I do. I would love to see Alan Jackson do another one. Hopefully, he will after the success of this one. I have purchased it for other people as well.
