From Home At Last

lyrics

​Last Sunday there was preaching
We all went out to hear
The little church was crowded
The rich and poor were there
It was a splendid sermon
The singing full and free

Country church, country people
With their eyes upon the Lord
Built a church with a steeple
As a place to hear his word
You can live and die in the same small town
But the Lord spreads his love all around

The choir was dressed in glory (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Their voices dressed in love (Ooh ooh ooh)
The music told the story (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Of God who sent his son (Ooh ooh ooh)
How Jesus came from heaven (Ah ah ah ah)
To set the sinner free (Ah ah ah ah ah)

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

The choir was finished singing
And the congregation stood
While the spirit touched and filled them (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
With power, love and good (Ooh ooh ooh)
From God who reigns in heaven (Ah ah ah ah)
Always watching every man (Ah ah ah ah ah)
And guiding all his children
With his kind protecting hand

Oh (Oh oh oh)

Country church, country people
With their eyes upon the Lord
Built a church with a steeple
As a place to hear his word
You can live and die in the same small town
But the Lord spreads his love all around
But the Lord spreads his love all around (Ah ah ah ah)
