COUNTRY CHURCH
Once I was alone and lonely
and didn't know where I was bound
so I went into a country church
and there the answer found
a preacher was preaching with fire in his eyes
and to me he began to tell
about a place of eternal suffering
about a place that God calls hell
I could tell by the look on the preachers face
that the fire was burning hot
it was a deep and dark and Godless place
where the worm dieth not
But then he said if you've accepted Jesus
and asked Him to come into your heart
praise God for Jn. 3:16 you've got a brand new start
when I heard those words my heart began to pound
and my vision began to waive
I slid to the alter on my knee's
and asked the Lord to be saved
Now I'm no longer alone and lonely
for I've found a brand new friend
He's my Lord and savior Jesus Christ
and He will stand by me till the end
I thank you God for that old country church
and for the preacher with the fire in his eye's
and I thank you God for Jesus
with Him some day I'll rise
I'm no longer alone and lonely
for I've found a brand new friend
He's my LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ
and he will stand by me till the end
