The Old Country Church Lyrics

Oh I'd like to go back
to that old country church,
to hear the songs of praise,
how the people would sing,
it would make the heavens ring,
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.

Oh I'll never forget
at that old country church,
how the glory of the Lord came down
and the children would smile,
as they shouted down the aisle,
at that old country church.

Some glad morning
when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that land on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
And the day I'll 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 country church.

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms
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.

Leaning, leaning safe and secure from all alarms,
leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh I'd like to go back
to that old country church,
to hear the songs of praise,
how the people would sing,
it would make the heavens ring,
at that old country church

amen...
