To a little country church house
A place where once I'd kneel and dwell
Made my way through the doorway
In need of God, my sins to tell
I heard them golden bells ringing
Sang them old-time gospel songs
In the Sweet By and By, Beulah Land
For you I long
I felt the spirit come a’calling
Spoke to my soul deep down inside
Pride did fall like a rainstorm
Tears did flow, I could not hide
So if temptation has your number
And worldly fame and fortune call
Say goodbye to your loved ones
By the wayside they will fall
I knew the cost of my sinning
Worldly ways had done me in
Beer and wine and wild living
Take my hand Lord, I am thine
So if temptation has your number
And worldly fame and fortune call
Say goodbye to your loved ones
By the wayside they will fall
My soul was saved, sins forgiven
A spirit light and made anew
Saved my soul but lost my true love
There was no more that I could do
So if temptation has your number
Worldly fame and fortune call
Say goodbye to your loved ones
By the wayside they will fall
By the wayside they will fall
By the wayside they will fall

This is a wonderful album. It is personal, senitive, and caring. I love to here Sturgill sing, and wish had found him earlier. I thsnk wnku for playing local artists. I lived in Jackson Ky. And know how sad the drugs have made so many hometowns. Keep singing you are great. carolfaulkner
