Thank God for My Christian Home

Anne Young is indeed listed as co-author of this song, along with Ira. I believe Anne was a song writer before she and Ira married. Ira's lone solo album that he released before his death also features Anne singing, most notably on Yodel Sweet Molly (in which she does the yodeling part). Below, I placed a link to that song, plus a link to the Capitol recording of the Louvin Brothers singing Thank God for My Christian Home. If you click the description below that video, you can see all the personnel/musicians for the recording session that day, along with some other info about Charlie and Ira individually. When I searched to see if Anne's name was indeed listed as co-writer of Thank God for My Christian Home, AI shared some other info that I didn't know. On example is that one of the most well known recordings of the song is by a lady named Janet Paschal. I had never heard of her, but she is a highly skilled and polished vocalist. I placed a link below to her recording as well. Interestingly, there's also a video on YouTube of Pashal's recording as a soundtrack. I believe we have several female Acorns who sing and make music. Perhaps if the key fits, some of you may be able to sing with Paschal's soundtrack.

Lyrics to Thank God for My Christian Home:

If you look on my family in pity,
And you wonder how we struggle along,
Then your eyes can't see all my riches.
Thank God for my Christian home.

When I'm sad and discouraged from failure,
And feel the whole world is against me when everything wrong,
All I need for courage is to whisper,
"Thank God for my Christian home."

I'm not seeking for riches or power
In a world that I can't call my own,
But I'm laying up treasures in heaven,
Where no sorrow will ever be known.

I will leave this old world like I found it,
Taking with me no silver nor gold,
But the strong hand of death hath not power
To break the circle of my Christian home.

When I'm sad and discouraged from failure,
And feel the whole world is against me when everything wrong,
All I need for courage is to whisper,
"Thank God for my Christian home."
