d g
There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday,
d a
Where friends and family gathered for the Lord,
d g
There an old fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow way,
d a d
For what few coins the congregation could afford,
g
Dressed in all our Sunday best, we sat on pews of solid oak,
d a
And I remember how our voices filled the air,
d g
How mama sounded like an angel on those high soprano notes,
d a d
And when the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
chorus
g
Looking back now, that little mountain church house,
d a
Has become my life's corner stone,
d g
It was there in that little mountain church house,
d a d
I first heard the word I've based my life upon.
d g
At the all day Sunday singing, and dinner on the ground,
d a
Many were the souls that were revived,
d g
While my brothers and my sisters, who've gone on to glory land,
d a d
Slept in peace in the maple grove nearby
