Gaither Vocal Band – The Old Country Church

Lyrics: The Old Country Church by Gaither Vocal Band

1. Oh! I’d like to go back to that Old Country Church,
   And to hear the songs of praise. (songs of praise)
   How the people would sing, it would make the Heavens ring,
   At that Old (at that Old) Country Church.

CHORUS 1:

Shall we gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river.
Gather with the saints at the river that flows by the throne of God.

2. 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.

CHORUS 2:

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.

3. Then on Sunday to see all my friends so dear to me
   At that Old Country Church. (Country Church)
   When it came time for prayer, ev’rybody would be there
   At that Old (at that Old) Country Church.

CHORUS 3:

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms.
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the Everlasting Arms.

4. Now the years have gone by and so many have died,
   At that Old— Country Church (Country Church)
   But they’re on the other shore, and they’ll sing forevermore,
   As they did at that Old Country Church.

CHORUS 4:

I’m redeemed by love divine. Glory, glory, Christ is mine.
All to Him I now resign. I have been redeemed.
