Amen (Althammer, Kippin, Skeen)
1798 was chiseled in that stone
at the base of the rock they stacked to the top when they built there God a home
They placed a solid oak cross at the top steeple for the people who lost their way and they swore that church be standing, standing come judgement day
Do I get and Amen
Now their faith was strong like the rocks they drug from the bottom of that creek
And every Sunday morning that bell would ring and brother John would preach
Shouting hell fire, as the crowd got hire, would bring them to their knees Just thumping that bible screaming revival they'd get to their feet Amen, Amen, Amen They swore that church be stand, standing come judgement My kin, your kin, family, use to mean something Good time, bad times, lean, you know what I mean Some got married, all got barred on the side of the Tennessee hill When the wind blows right on a Sunday night, you can hear them still Amen, Amen, Amen They swore that church be stand, standing come judgement day I know somethings are meant to change But I don't think that old church is gonna fade away Some folks missing that old time religion What do you say, do you think it will be standing, standing..... Amen, Amen, Amen They swore that church be stand, standing till judgement My kin, your kin, family, just to mean something Good time, bad times, lean you know what I mean Some got married, all got barred on the side of the Tennessee hill And swear that church be stand, standing come judgement Day
