That Little Mountain Church House
Carl Jackson, Jim Rushing
There's a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday
Where friends and family gathered for the Lord
There an old fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow way
For what few coins the congregation could afford

Dressed in all our Sunday best we sat on pews of solid oak
And I remember how our voices filled the air
How mamma sounded like an angel on those high soprano notes
And when the roll is called up yonder I'll be there

Chorus
Looking back now that little mountain church house
Has become my life's corner stone
It was there in that little mountain church house
I first heard the words I've based my life upon

At the all day Sunday singing and dinner on the ground
Many were the souls that were revived
While my brothers and my sisters who've gone on to Glory Land
Slept in peace in the maple grove nearby

Chorus
Looking back now that little mountain church house
Has become my life's corner stone
It was there in that little mountain church house
I first heard the words I've based my life upon

Repeat Chorus and close with repeat on last line.
