Oh I’d like to go back
To that old country church
To hear the songs of praise (songs of praise)
How the people would sing
It would make the rafters ring
At that old, at that old country church
Shall we gather at the river
The beautiful, the beautiful river
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows from the throne of God
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
Of that old, of that old country church
In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Then on Sunday I’d see
All my friends dear to me
At that old country church
When we’d kneel down to prayer
Everybody would be there
At that old country church
Leaning (leaning), leaning (I’m leaning)
Safe and secure from all alarm
Leaning (leaning leaning), leaning (I’m leaning)
Leaning on the everlasting arm
Now the years have gone by
And so many have died
At that old country church
But they’re on the other shore
Where they’ll sing forever more
As they did at that old country church
I’m redeemed (Oh I’m redeemed)
by Love Divine (by Love Divine)
Oh glory glory (Christ is mine),
Christ is mine (Christ is mine)
Oh to Him (Oh to him)
I now resign (I now resign)
(I have been) I have been redeemed!
