at first when I heard of some people who claim
That the old-time religion was
real

I
said Ill go down, take a
look at the crowd

For
just that weak-
minded I
feel.

I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door
But the devil said, dont you go
in!
But I
said, it wont hurt me Ill
just step inside

And Ill
set as far
back as I
can.
something got a hold of me

Yes something got a hold of
me

I
went there to fight, but Ill
tell you that night
God
certainly got a
hold of
me.

They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands
I said, its commotion, thats all.
When they get down to pray, Ill just get up and leave
For I dont wanta be seen here at all.
But I bowed that time, he got started to preach
And he looked straight down at me
He told evrybody how mean that I was
He didnt talk like he thought much of me.
I sat in my seat just thinkin it oer
And then they all started to pray
The fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor
I prayed there and God had his way
