The Church Homecoming

There's no sweeter feeling than a Sunday morning
When the family is gathered in that little country church.
Friends and neighbors sang the songs of Zion
And they played that piano for all it was worth.

Chorus
They sang "Hallelujah!" at the all-day singing,
And the dinner on the ground
At the church homecoming
In our little country town.

I can smell fried chicken
I can hear the laughter
All us kids were playing
life was simple back then.
I can hear the sound of the congregation singing
How I long to hear those voices again.

I can still recall the preacher preached salvation
And a man went forward that I'd never seen around.
When he knelt at the altar his family was crying
And that church went to pieces when the Lord came down.

Tag
And everybody seemed to love everybody
At the church homecoming
In our little country town
