Lyrics
Little Church
Music and Lyrics by Lynda Dobbin-Turner
V1
Every stained glass tell the story
Of the folks that once belonged
The pictures and the tapestries, remind us of the ones who've gone
And if these walls could tell their story
What a tale I know would be told
Of the little church that stands so proudly by the side of the road
V2
The vows made and the promises
We watched sealed with a kiss
Tears shed as we said goodbye
To those we knew we'd miss
The voices of the choir, the bible stories told
In the little church that stands so proud by the side of the road
Chorus
A hundred years have come and gone, and a thousand things have changed
But the things we knew as truth back then, somehow still remain
How many generations now, have watched their lives unfold
In the little church that stands so tall by the side of the road
V3
Now the congregations smaller, than it's ever been before
Every year a few less people grace her open door
But there is always sanctuary, when the world turns harsh and cold
In the little church that stands so tall, by the side of the road
Chorus
A hundred years have come and gone, and a thousand things have changed
But the things we knew as truth back then, somehow still remain
How many generations now, have watched their lives unfold
In the little church that stands so tall by the side of the road
