Church by the Road Lyrics

Often times in my memories I wondered againTo the Little Old Church by the RoadI could see the dear people and hear them so plainSinging songs of that blessed dear LordI could hear my dear mother as she formidably prayedBlessed Jesus help me carry my loadShe was never downhearted never dismayedIn that Little old Church by the RoadChorusThere my mother would prayAnd my sister was savedSinging sinners come and repent of your sinsThere the angels were crowded and the sisters would shout outAnd the bread was saved amenIt was there I met Jesus and gave him my lifeIt was there he took the weight off my loadAnd he freely removed all my sorrow and strifeIn that Little old Church by the roadVerseI remember the preacher so gentle and braveAs he told how the father aboveGave his only son Jesus all the lost ones to saveSuch wonderful wonderful loveI will always remember when the preacher would sayCome to Jesus hell lighten your loadSo often he preached of the life giving breadIn that little old church by the roadChorusThere my mother would prayAnd my sister was savedSinging sinners come and repent of your sinsThere the angels were crowded and the sisters would shout outAnd the bread was saved amenIt was there I met Jesus and gave him my lifeIt was there he took the weight off my loadAnd he freely removed all my sorrow and strifeIn that little old Church by the RoadVerseI could never forget all those lovely old songsThat the people so joyfully sangHow they told the lords message to sinners gone wrongAnd the echoes so joyfully rangI would always remember how I truly believedJesus took all the weight off my loadAnd the joy of salvation I truly receivedIn that Little old Church by the roadChorusThere my mother would prayAnd my sister was savedSinging sinners come and repent of your sinsThere the angels were crowded and the sisters would shout outAnd the bread was saved amenIt was there I met Jesus and gave him my lifeIt was there he took the weight off my loadAnd he freely removed all my sorrow and strifeIn that Little old Church by the Road
