Often times in my memories I wondered again
To the Little Old Church by the Road
I could see the dear people and hear them so plain

Singing songs of that blessed dear Lord
I could hear my dear mother as she formidably prayed
Blessed Jesus help me carry my load

She was never downhearted never dismayed
In that Little old Church by the Road
Chorus

There my mother would pray
And my sister was saved
Singing sinners come and repent of your sins

There the angels were crowded and the sisters would shout out
And the bread was saved amen
It was there I met Jesus and gave him my life

It was there he took the weight off my load
And he freely removed all my sorrow and strife
In that Little old Church by the road

Verse
I remember the preacher so gentle and brave
As he told how the father above

Gave his only son Jesus all the lost ones to save
Such wonderful wonderful love
I will always remember when the preacher would say

Come to Jesus heÂ'll lighten your load
So often he preached of the life giving bread
In that little old church by the road

Chorus
There my mother would pray
And my sister was saved

Singing sinners come and repent of your sins
There the angels were crowded and the sisters would shout out
And the bread was saved amen

It was there I met Jesus and gave him my life
It was there he took the weight off my load
And he freely removed all my sorrow and strife

In that little old Church by the Road
Verse
I could never forget all those lovely old songs

That the people so joyfully sang
How they told the lords message to sinners gone wrong
And the echoes so joyfully rang

I would always remember how I truly believed
Jesus took all the weight off my load
And the joy of salvation I truly received

In that Little old Church by the road
Chorus
There my mother would pray

And my sister was saved
Singing sinners come and repent of your sins
There the angels were crowded and the sisters would shout out

And the bread was saved amen
It was there I met Jesus and gave him my life
It was there he took the weight off my load

And he freely removed all my sorrow and strife
In that Little old Church by the Road
