Lyrics
Verse
Brother Guthrie owned 4 acres
Just outside that two lane town
One night he had a vision
Saw God’s plan for that piece of ground
Every board, every pew
The stained glass too
‘Fore you could say Amen
The Cornerstone was set
From the first nail to the steeple
Without a single cent of debt
The whole town
Answered the call
Chorus
The Church went up in no time
In the twinkling of an eye
Built on the Rock of ages
Built to stand the test of time
I grew up on the stories
‘Bout the sweat the blood the glory
I thank God, I was raised
In the Church
Verse
Brother Guthrie ain’t missed a sermon
Now since 1889
He’s never late on Sunday
First headstone on the right
Rest in peace, thank you sir
‘Cause in this Church
I gave my heart to Jesus
Learned The Word and how to pray
Said wedding vows and heard
My children sing Amazing Grace
Old timers love
To talk about…How
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Last night I had a vision
Jesus came down in the cloud
When that trumpet blew, Brother Guthrie knew
The Lord was breaking ground
Chorus
The Church went up in no time
In the twinkling of an eye
Built on the Rock of ages
Built to stand the test of time
I grew up on the stories
‘Bout the sweat the blood the glory
I thank God, I’ll be raised
With all the other sinners Jesus saved
In the Church
