Me and My Neighbor

(Wayne Kemp)



I was on my way to church one Sunday

I heard my neighbor say,

That other church across the street

Well, it don't belong today.



Why, they scream and shout and they carry on

Like the world was gonna end

And I watched him stand in silence

As the sermon began.



Well, it was my neighbor,

Who stood and listened

While the power of God

Filled the hearts of everyone.



Yes, it was my neighbor

Who kneeled and prayed

Well, it was my neighbor

That shouted louder than anyone.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I stood there and listened,

I could not turn away

Everybody in the neighborhood

All came in to pray.



I won't forget that Sunday

When God filled the neighborhood

It might have been a little old fashioned

But it done us all some good.



Well, it was me and my neighbor,

Who stood and listened

While the power of god

Filled the hearts of everyone.



Yes, it was me and my neighbor

That kneeled and prayed

Well, it was me and my neighbor

That shouted louder than anyone.



Give me that old time religion;

give me that old time religion,

Give me that old time religion,

Its good enough for me.



Give me that old time religion;

give me that old time religion,

Give me that old time religion,

Oh, its good enough for me.



Give me that old time religion;

give me that old time religion,

Give me that old time religion;

Give me that old time religion...
