at first when I heard of some people who claim That the old-time religion was real I said Ill go down, take a look at the crowd For just that weak- minded I feel. I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door But the devil said, dont you go in! But I said, it wont hurt me Ill just step inside And Ill set as far back as I can. something got a hold of me Yes something got a hold of me I went there to fight, but Ill tell you that night God certainly got a hold of me. They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands I said, its commotion, thats all. When they get down to pray, Ill just get up and leave For I dont wanta be seen here at all. But I bowed that time, he got started to preach And he looked straight down at me He told evrybody how mean that I was He didnt talk like he thought much of me. I sat in my seat just thinkin it oer And then they all started to pray The fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor I prayed there and God had his way
