"Church By The Side Of The Road" lyrics

Daddy was a drunkard
Momma taught for the Lord
Granny took me to Sunday School
To the church by the side of the road

And I'm telling you
My Jesus came, from the golden city
To the church by the side of the road

This church it wasn't modern
It was built of log and clay
But you could see my Jesus there
As we knelt down to pray

And I'm telling you (I'm telling you)
My Jesus came (my Jesus came)
From the golden city
To the church by the side of the road

Well time has came between us
And the years have come and gone
I'm a-leaving here tomorrow
I've been away too long

And I'm telling you
I'm going back to see my Jesus
In the church by the side of the road

This church it wasn't modern
It was built of log and clay
But you could see my Jesus there
As we knelt down to pray

And I'm telling you (I'm telling you)
I'm going back (I'm going back)
To see my Jesus
In the church by the side of the road
