Mike Mccracken - Old Man In Church lyrics
The Old Man in Church
By Mike McCracken

He goes to church each Sunday
Then, he goes home alone
Then, he’d always pray,
“Please God take me home

“I’ve never had a wife
Like I wanted to
Cause I’ve spent most my life
Showing that I love you”

He’d always sit in the back row
And never say a word
Cause it’s a place he’d love to go
Where God’s message can be heard
No one knew where he lived
Why, he’d just come and go
And at church, he’d always gived
At least a dollar or so

Then, he came one time more
And the newspapers read
That, he’ll come no more
Cause he went to join the dead

And the preacher gave a sermon
Of that old man that day
That touched the hardest man
And the rest of that note did say:

“I’ll die here at God’s house
At the entrance by the door
Cause it’s the way to God’s house
And the entrance to Heaven’s Door.”
