Something Got Hold Of Me

At first when I heard of some people who claim

That old time religion was real

I said, "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd

For it's just that weak minded I feel"

I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door

The Devil said, "Don't you go in"

But I said, "It won't hurt me, I will just step inside

And sit as far back as I can"

But something got a hold of me (Praise God)

Yes, something got a hold of me

I went there to fight but I'll tell you that night

God certainly got a hold of me

I sat in my seat just thinking it over

And then they all started to pray

The fire fell from heaven, I knelt to the floor

I prayed there and God had His way

And now then I know that I don't need to doubt

For I got an experience that night

I'll never forget it as long as I live

I found that salvation was right

But something got a hold of me (Praise God)

Yes, something got a hold of me

I went there to fight but I'll tell you that night

God certainly got a hold of me
