Little White Church Songtext

von Jim Avett and Family

There's a little white church in the valley
That stands in my memory every day
And it seems I can hear the bells ringing
Though I am many miles away
And many times there on Sunday morning
The whole countryside would gather there
They would all kneel down by the altar
As they lifted up their voices in prayer
Oh that little white church, oh that little white church
Is a place that I love so well
Now I'm sad and I'm lonely, yes I'm sad and I'm lonely
For that little white church in the dell
They would sing the old song Rock of Ages
Oh Christ let me hide myself in theee
And I know some of them are now waiting
Just o'er the dark and stormy sea
I know thier troubles now are ended
And happy forever they will be
And I know some of them are now waiting
For the coming home of you and me
Oh that little white church, oh that little white church
Is a place that I love so well
Now I'm sad and I'm lonely, yes I'm sad and I'm lonely
For that little white church in the dell
Yes I'm sad and I'm lonely, yes I'm sad and I'm lonely
For that little white church in the dell
