                        There was a time when I didn’t know all about the Christian band

                                                           D^m7                  G⁷                           C⁷

                        I was longing for some fellowship and I searched across the land

                             B^b7                                        F⁷                       B^b7

                        So lost and far away from home I wandered aimlessly

                              F⁷                   D^m7                               C⁷

                        I began to feel like coming home when somebody prayed for me

Verse 2:          G⁷                      G⁷/B              C⁷                   G⁷

                        Mother said let’s go to church I said I believe I will

                                                              E^m7                     A⁷                          D⁷

                        So we went down to the Holiness meeting just down under the hill

                               C⁷                                                               G⁷           C⁷

                        The old-time preacher preached the word saying whosever will

                        G⁷                             E^m7                     D⁷             

                        I found Jesus with the saints of God and I am with them still

                                    C⁷                                        G⁷                            C⁷

Verse 3:          G⁷                             G⁷/B           C⁷                 G⁷

                        The human is race is about run the Bible tells me so

                                                       E^m7            A⁷                      D⁷

                        The saints will go to Heaven the sinners will go below

                                  C⁷                                                 G⁷                       C⁷

                        Well I had enough of the sinful life when I found the crimson flow

                                   G⁷                      E^m7              D⁷             

                        Please take me with the saints of God everywhere they go
