There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be

As I knelt at the old country church
D MajorD               G+G     D MajorD
There with Jesus above in his wonderful love
           A7A7     D MajorD
Saved my soul at the old country church

If they'd only confess, Jesus surely would bless
         A7A7     D MajorD
As he did at the old country church
