Lyrics of Where Her Heart Has Always Been (Written for Mama’s funeral with an old recording of her reading from the Bible) by Alan Jackson

intro

"And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon themAnd the glory of the Lord shone round about them"

verse

The morning light was soft and lowThe clouds had left an early snowA peaceful sound was calling low"It′s time to go"Then God reached out His tender handAnd gently pulled her home with HimAnd brushed away the sorrow from her soul within

chorus

And I could hear the roses singA bluebird softly claps its wingsThe sun seemed brighter than it's ever beenAnd now she′s dancing in the windWith her true love againWhere her heart has always beenWhere her heart has always beenAnd I could hear the roses singA bluebird softly claps its wingsThe sun seemed brighter than it's ever beenAnd now she's dancing in the windWith her true love againWhere her heart has always beenWhere her heart has always beenWhere her heart has always been
