"Old Country Church (Jubilee Version)" lyrics - TYLER CHILDERS

There's a place dear to me
Where I'm longing to be
With my friends at the old country church
There with mother, we went
And our Sundays were spent
With my friends at the old country church

[Refrain:]
Precious years of memories (Precious years of memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me (Oh, what joy they bring to me)
How I long once more to be (How I long to be)
With my friends at the old country church

As a small country boy
How my heart beat with joy
When I knelt in the old country church
And the Savior above
By His wonderful love
Saved my soul in the old country church

[Refrain:]
Precious years of memories (Precious years of memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me (Oh, what joy they bring to me)
How I long once more to be (How I long to be)
With my friends at the old country church

[Instrumental break]

How I wish that today (Ooh)
All the people would pray (Ooh, ooh)
As they prayed in the old country church (Ooh, ooh)
If they'd only confess (Ooh)
Jesus surely would bless (Ooh, ooh)
As He did in the old country church (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Refrain:]
Precious years of memories (Precious years, sweet memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me (Oh, what joy they bring to me)
How I long once more to be (How I long, be)
With my friends at the old country church
Precious years of memories (Precious years, sweet memories)
Oh, what joy they bring to me (Oh, what joy they bring to me)
How I long once more to be (How I long, be)
With my friends at the old country church
With my friends at the old country church
