Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: They Tore the Old Country Church Down
Lyrics for Album: The Old Country Church [RCA Victor] [1967]



Chorus:

Oh, they tore the old country church down

Built a big new church way up town

With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky

And pride has slipped in where love should have been.



Oh, I long just once more to enter the door

Of that humble place in the dell

Where the spirit once fell and God saved my soul from hell

In that little country church over there.



Chorus:

Oh, they tore the old country church down

Built a big new church way up town

With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky

And pride has slipped in where love should have been.



They no longer kneel and pray in the old fashion way

They just stand up there tall and proud

They don't sing about the cross

Or the vlood that Jesus lost

In that big new church way up town.



Chorus:

Oh, they tore the old country church down

Built a big new church way up town

With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky

And pride has slipped in where love should have been.



There is nothing wrong with that church a way up town

It's the members that have let God down

If they'd humble themselves and pray they would hear from God

Today in that big new church way up town.



Chorus:

Oh, they tore the old country church down

Built a big new church way up town

With the steeple so high it reaches to the sky

And pride has slipped in where love should have been.
