Lyrics

[00:01.64] at first when I heard of some people who claim
[00:06.07] That the old-time religion was
[00:08.31] real
[00:09.87]
[00:10.50] I
[00:10.68] said Ill go down, take a
[00:12.74] look at the crowd
[00:13.99]
[00:14.63] For
[00:14.95] just that weak-
[00:15.89] minded I
[00:16.76] feel.
[00:18.50]
[00:19.19] I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door
[00:23.56] But the devil said, dont you go
[00:25.69] in!
[00:27.81] But I
[00:28.37] said, it wont hurt me Ill
[00:30.18] just step inside
[00:31.35]
[00:32.25] And Ill
[00:32.80] set as far
[00:33.93] back as I
[00:34.99] can.
[00:36.93] something got a hold of me
[00:39.74]
[00:41.30] Yes something got a hold of
[00:43.79] me
[00:45.11]
[00:45.91] I
[00:46.29] went there to fight, but Ill
[00:48.41] tell you that night
[00:51.60] God
[00:51.91] certainly got a
[00:53.10] hold of
[00:53.98] me.
[00:55.09]
[00:56.10] They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands
[01:00.46] I said, its commotion, thats all.
[01:04.90] When they get down to pray, Ill just get up and leave
[01:09.25] For I dont wanta be seen here at all.
[01:14.13] But I bowed that time, he got started to preach
[01:18.31] And he looked straight down at me
[01:22.67] He told evrybody how mean that I was
[01:27.36] He didnt talk like he thought much of me.
[01:31.98] I sat in my seat just thinkin it oer
[01:36.34] And then they all started to pray
[01:40.96] The fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor
[01:45.46] I prayed there and God had his way
[01:49.36]
[01:51.18]
