Lyrics

This Little Church I Grew Up In
words and music by Tommy Patterson
A litle white frame building with a steeple on the top
Abandoned and neglected by an empty parking lot
There's nothing left inside except an altar and a cross
Where I worshipped and I prayed for those whose souls were lost
Chorus: This Little Church I Grew Up In
We praised the Lord and said Amen
Learned about Jesus, the Devil, and Sin
In This Little Church I Grew Up In
The Pastor preached the sermon and read a Bible verse
We sang those ole time gospel songs, I remember every word
How Great Thou Art, I'll Fly Away, and Amazing Grace
It's where I pledged my soul to Christ, in this special place
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:Now it's just an old building
Soon to be torn down
I cherish all these memories
Thank God the day I found
Repeat Chorus:
