At first when I heard of some people who claim That the old-time religion was real I said "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd For just that weak minded I feel." I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door, But the Devil said, "Don't you go in!" But I said, "It won't hurt me, I'll just step inside, And I'll set as far back as I can." Somethin' got a hold of me, praise God! Yes, somethin' got a hold of me, oh Lord! I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that night, God certainly got a hold of me. They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands, I said, "It's commotion, that's all." "When they get down to pray, I'll just get up and leave, For I don't wanna be seen here at all." But about that time, he got started to preach, And he looked straight down at me. He told ev'rybody how mean that I was, He didn't talk like he thought much of me. I sat in my seat just thinkin' it o'er And then they all started to pray The fire fell from heaven, I fell to the floor I prayed there and God had his way.
