Remember When Baptist Church

THE ' REMEMBER WHEN 'BAPTIST CHURCH

There was a Baptist Church and it was called 'REMEMBER WHEN'

Where the folks loved the sinner but they hated the sin

Our church had no carpet and the floor, it was bare

We had a pot-bellied stove, oh but we didn't care

All the women wore dresses and the men wore ties

And the creek was the place that we would Baptize

At 'Remember When Church' we used hand-held fans

The Preacher preached the Gospel 'coz he was a Godly man

We might collect the offering in an old gunny sack

And I remember when the bathroom was a path out back

At 'Remember When Church' now if you weren't living' right

You were surely voted out before you shed some bad light

"Shall We Gather At The River" was a song we all loved

Where the congregation sang and worshipped

'JESUS CHRIST' from above

And ministries to prisons, no we never hired someone

We did our own visitations, never paid to have it done

I remember that our Preacher, never once he held back

He always Preached the Truth, his sermons never did lack !

Those tears would get to fallen' and rejoicing occurred

There never was a shortage of those AMENS! to be heard

At 'Remember When Church' many sinners were Bought

Many souls were Saved, for true Repentance was taught

Yes I remember many things, like walking home at night

In the mornings walked to church, at dark a Kerosene light

We knew to change a heart that true Repentance took place

Salvation was by FAITH and all because of God's Grace

We never had to worry what kind of Bible we used

Our Bibles were King James, God's Holy Word was not abused

Of those 'Family Life Centers', glad to say we had none

Club Houses and Gymnasiums, no we never had a one !

The children all behaved themselves, for parents had control

The Day Cares and the Pre-schools never raised our kids,you know.

And when we had Revival, oh the Preaching that we heard !

No watered-down sermons at our country Baptist Church.

Yes I remember so much about our Church

'REMEMBER WHEN'

Where the folks loved the sinner, but they hated the sin.
