THE MODEL CHURCH Sung by: Mrs. Ben F. Johnson Recorded in Cave City, AR Click here to listen to the original recording And worshipped there today. It made me think of good old times Before my hair was gray. The meeting house was finer built Than it was years ago. But when I found when I went in, It was not built for show. The sexton did not set me down Away back by the door, Because he knew that I was old And saw that I was poor. He must have been a Christian man; He led me boldly through, Along, along the crowded church, To find a pleasant pew. |
