The Little Country Church
By
Sharon Rutherford 08-25-1990
CHORUS: Oh! How happy I want you all to be,
In the little country church,
In the valley, in the valley, in the valley,
Keep your eyes on Me.
If only sister-so-and-so,
Could be just like me,
Oh how happy
the whole church would be!
What’s that You say, Lord?
You’re not sure You agree?
Remove the log from my own eye?
Remember the Pharisee?
Chorus
|
Well, if I can’t have my way,
Then I’ll just stay home.
That’s the way to make them pay,
The church just can’t go on.
What’s that You say, Lord?
You’re coming back someday?
I’d better get down on my knees,
And listen to what You say?
Chorus
|
|
But I’m worried about that preacher.
He’s not suitin’ me.
He talks too long on Sundays,
And never visits me.
What’s that You say, Lord?
You’re not sure You agree?
You chose that man and sent him here?
He doesn’t answer to me? Well !!!
Chorus
|
If I can’t love my brother,
Who’s right in front of me,
Then I really don’t love You either;
That’s pretty plain to see.
You’re building Your Body,
You’re building it with love.
You gave us Your precious Son –
Isn’t that enough?
|
|
Well, if you’d let me fix your church,
I’d pick it all apart,
Then put it back together,
According to my heart.
Why are You so quiet, Lord?
Don’t you agree?
Oh… that’s Your Bride I’m talking about,
It grieves You to listen to me?
Chorus
|
Oh! How happy I want you all to be,
In the little country church,
In the valley, in the valley, in the valley….
Keep your eyes on Me. |
