Lyrics
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 (at that old) country church (country church)
When we’d kneel down to pray’r
Everybody would be there at that old (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 (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
I’m redeemed (oh, I’m redeemed) by Love Divine (by Love Divine)
Oh, glory, glory (Hallelujah) Christ is mine (He is mine)
Oh, to Him (oh, to him) I now resign (I now resign)
(I have been) I have been redeemed
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
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!
At that old country church
