Oh I’d like to go back to that old country church
And to hear the songs of priase
How the people would sing, it would make the heavens ring
At that old (at that old) country churchShall we gather at the river
The beautiful, the beautiful river
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God
Oh I’ll never forget at that old country church
How the glory of the Lord came down (it came down)
And the children would smile as they shouted down the aisle
Of that old (of that old) country church
Leaning, leaning (I'm a-leaning)
Safe and secure from all alarms (I'm leaning)
Leaning, leaning (I'm a-leaning)
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Then on Sunday to see all my friends so dear to me
At that old country church
When it came time for prayer everybody would be there
At that old (at that old) country church
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Now the years have gone by and so many have died
At that old country church
But they’re on the other shore and they’ll sing forever more
As they did at that old country church
I’m redeemed (I'm redeemed), by love divine (by love divine)
Glory, glory (glory, glory) Christ is mine (Christ is mine)
All to Him (all to Him), I now resign (I now resign)
(I have been) I have been redeemed (redeemed)
At that old country church (old country church) |
