The Church By The Road
Recorded by Charlie Sizemore
Written by Charles Ethan Sizemore

C
Often times in my memories I wondered again 
       F                        C
To the little old church by the road

I could see the dear people and hear them so plain
        D7                         G7
Singing songs of that blessed dear Lord

        C
I could hear my dear mother as she formidably prayed
        F                      C
Blessed Jesus help me carry my load 
        F                     C
She was never downhearted and never dismayed 
                  G7            C
In the little old church by the road


There my mother was praying 

And the preacher was saying
        F                       C
Sinners come and repent of your sins

There the angels was shrouded 

Sisters are shouting
        D7               G7
And the bread was served amen

       C
It was there I met Jesus and gave Him my life
       F                               C
It was there He took the weight off my load
       F                     C
And He freely removed all my sorrow and strife
                  G7            C
In the little old church by the road


I remember the preacher so gentle and brave
           F              C
As he told how the Father above

Gave His only son Jesus all the lost ones to save
     D7                  G7
Such wonderful wonderful love

       C
I will always remember how he spoke when he said
        F                        C
Come to Jesus He'll lighten your load
       F                    C
And so often he told of the life giving bread 
                  G7            C
In the little old church by the road

Repeat #3,4


I will never forget all those lovely old songs
         F                  C
That the people so joyfully sang

How they told the Lord's message to sinners gone wrong
        D7                 G7
And the echoes so joyfully rang

       C
I will always remember when I truly believed 
      F                            C
Jesus lifted all the weight off my load
        F                  C
And the joy of salvation I truly received
                  G7            C
In the little old church by the road

Repeat #3,4
