Three Muses - Lyric

One of my mother's favorite songs was "The Little  Brown Church in the Vale".   When she sang it, it always conjured up mental images of a quaint little chapel snuggled amidst trees, like the one above.   It's much like the church of MY childhood, except my little roadside church was white.  These little country churches were the heart of the community.  Sadly, they are becoming things of the past.   It is pleasant to remember the ticking of the old wall clock as the minister brought his message of hope and love.....a balm to the spirit.

  9. I don't think I know the song but would love to hear it. Chris mentioned above that she found it on YouTube so that would be worth looking into. Your little brown church and couple are exquisite, Bev. So beautiful. I always love seeing your memories in print. As I often say - you really take us there.
