Oh, they tore the old country church down Built a big new church way up town With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky And pride has slipped in where love should have been. Oh, I long just once more to enter the door Of that humble place in the dell Where the spirit once fell and God saved my soul from hell In that little country church over there. Oh, they tore the old country church down Built a big new church way up town With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky And pride has slipped in where love should have been. They no longer kneel and pray in the old fashion way They just stand up there tall and proud They don't sing about the cross Or the vlood that Jesus lost In that big new church way up town. Oh, they tore the old country church down Built a big new church way up town With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky And pride has slipped in where love should have been. There is nothing wrong with that church a way up town It's the members that have let God down If they'd humble themselves and pray they would hear from God Today in that big new church way up town. Oh, they tore the old country church down Built a big new church way up town With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky And pride has slipped in where love should have been.
