George Jones - Old Country Church lyrics

(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...
