Back To The Old Church Lyrics by Dottie Peoples

I Got This

2013

Back to the Old Church
I just wanna take a minute
And go back to the old church
When the church would catch on fire
People giving testimonies that meant so much
The mothers on the mother board
Would have their own praise party
Saying how he kept me
Every day and every hour
I wanna go back, yes I do
Back to the old church
Listen
Everyone would testify
About how good God's been good to me
When the spirit started moving
An old mother would stand up with tears in her eyes
She'd say church, he woke me up early this morning
And right now I'm feeling fine
I wanna go back, yes I do
Back to the old church
Come on
Then the church would get all excited
And all of a sudden
A deaconess would say I wanna say something
And the deaconess would come out and say this to the church
Listen
He didn't have to wake me up early this morning but he did
Yes he did, oh, yes he did
He didn't have to wake me up early this morning but he did
Yes he did, oh, yes he did
I can't thank him
Thank him enough
I can't praise him
Praise him enough
I lift up my hands from in the sea
God has been so good to me
Let's
Let's go back to the old church, to the old church
He didn't have to wake me up early this morning but he did
Yes he did, oh, yes he did
I said he didn't have to wake me up early this morning but he did
Yes he did, oh, yes he did
I can't thank him
Thank him enough
No, I can't praise him
Praise him enough
I lift up my hands from in the sea
God has been so good to me
I said Let's
Let's go back to the old church, to the old church
Oh
And then the spirit got real high
The deacon board got jealous y'all
And all of a sudden
Old deacon Billy would come up and say, I got something to say
And he say something like this
