G                               C            G
My heart is longing now for the days of long ago

                                A7             D7
And an old country church where Mother used to go

    G                                    C             G
The choir you could scarcely say was the best you ever heard

                                      D7               G
But that old fashioned preacher would claim God’s holy word


     C                           G
That old fashioned preacher that taught us of the cross

                       A7                 D7
How Jesus came down to save those who are lost

    G                                  C                 G
You could feel the Holy spirit and you knew that God was there

                                       D7               G
When that old fashioned preacher would kneel to lead in prayer

 
                       C            G
In fancy I can hear as if it were today

                                      A7             D7
When He said the blood of Jesus would take your sins away

      G                      C            G
There seemed to be a tear in almost every eye

                                 D7            G
When he told us how for love the Savior had to die


     C                           G
That old fashioned preacher that taught us of the cross

                       A7                 D7
How Jesus came down to save those who are lost

    G                                  C                 G
You could feel the Holy spirit and you knew that God was there

                                       D7               G
When that old fashioned preacher would kneel to lead in prayer


     C                           G
That old fashioned preacher that taught us of the cross

                       A7                 D7
How Jesus came down to save those who are lost

    G                                  C                 G
You could feel the Holy spirit and you knew that God was there

                                       D7               G
When that old fashioned preacher would kneel to lead in prayer
