Lyrics.


We pass it by on our way to town
Until one day it’s been torn down
There’s an empty lot—the old country church.

Great-grandpa built it back in the day
Our family worshipped there every Sunday
Singing “Amazing Grace”—at the old country church.

Well, we all grew up and life got busy
There’s more to offer in the big city:
Modern music, youth group, and all of the works.
So we moved on—from the old country church.

Two services and a modern band
We need more room and a dozen more staff
We keep adding on—at our big city church.

Don’t know the pastor, can’t call his phone
Never eaten a meal in his home
There’s just too many—at our big city church.

We all grew up and life got busy
That country church was itty-bitty
We need programs, convenience, and children’s church.
So we moved on—from the old country church.

The country preacher got a part-time job
But he still finds time to visit Grandma
They’re the salt of the earth—at the old country church.

Make an appearance for a special program
I sit by Grandpa, hold Grandma’s hand
I did my duty—at the old country church.

Well, we all grew up and life got busy
They kept asking me to join committees
They needed volunteers to help with the work
Yeah, it wore me out— the old country church.

The preacher read the 23rd Psalm
Still can’t believe Grandpa’s really gone
We reminisced—at the old country church.

The church held on just a few more years
I’ll never forget my Mama’s tears
The day they closed—the old country church.

Well, we all grew up and life got busy
There’s more to offer in the big city:
Modern music, youth group, and all of the works.
We didn’t need— the old country church.

We pass it by on our way to town
Until one day it’s been torn down
It’s an empty lot—the old country church.
