I remember it well, I was about knee-high
All dressed up in my clip-on tie
Put a few quarters in that envelope
Still smellin' good from Saturday's soap
Didn't wanna go, but my mama made me
I'm glad that she did 'cause Jesus saved me

In the little white church house up on a hill
Skip and a holler from the pepper mill
If you don't know the way here, you could get lost
I know I was lost but then I got found
When Heaven came down
Shoulda heard all the shoutin'
There was glory all around, no more doubtin'
Where I'll be goin' when the Lord comes back
And that's a fact, and I found out
In the little white church house

Well, there wasn't nothin' fancy
But the Spirit was there
Room full of sinners left to be in prayer
Askin' Jesus to save my soul
Shoutin' hallelujah when he made me whole
Sister Diane wave your flag of surrender
I was there, Lord, I remember
In the little white church house up on a hill
Skip and a holler from the pepper mill
If you don't know the way here, you could get lost
I know I was lost but then I got found
When Heaven came down
Shoulda heard all the shoutin'
There was glory all around, no more doubtin'
Where I'll be goin' when the Lord comes back
And that's a fact, and I found out
In the little white church house
Oh, in the little white church house

Now the church is gone
And most of the people are, too
But my mind goes back
To the Sunday morning in June
I could still see mama cryin'
Daddy smilin', oh, so proud
What I wouldn't give
To go back now

In the little white church house up on a hill
Skip and a holler from the pepper mill
If you don't know the way here, you could get lost
I know I was lost but then I got found
When Heaven came down
Shoulda heard all the shoutin'
There was glory all around, no more doubtin'
Where I'll be goin' when the Lord comes back
And that's a fact, and I found out
In the little white church house
Oh, in the little white church house
In the little white church house
Oh, in the little white church house
In the little white church house
