George Jones - Old Country Church lyrics

rate me

(J.D. Summer - James W. Vaughn)

Porter Wagoner & Pamela Ross Gadd

(Pamela)

There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be

With my friends at the old country church

Where with mother I went and our Sundays were spent

With our friends at the old country church.

(Porter)

As a small country boy how my heart would leap with joy

When I knelt at that old country church

There was Jesus above and His wonderful love

Saved my soul in the old country church.

(Both)

Precious years of memory

Oh, what joy they bring to me

How I long once more to be

With my friends at the old country church.

--- Instrumental ---

(Pamela)

How I wish that today all the people would pray

As they did at the old country church

(Porter)

If they'd only confess Jesus surely would bless

As He did in that old country church.

(Both)

Precious years of memory

Oh, what joy they bring to me

How I long once more to be

With my friends at the old country church.

How I long once more to be

With my friends at the old country church...
