Like It Once Was

I remember that little country church we went to

It now seems to have been such a long time ago

My mother would dress us up in our best clothes

From our home deep in that hollow we would go

We learned about Jesus from reading our Bibles

How He gave up His life to save us from our sin

He took our sins as if they were committed by Him

That was the kindest act that there has ever been

I wish we could find life simple like it was back then

When we could go to bed and never lock our door

Back then we never heard of meth or any bad drugs

But it seems like today we hear them more and more

Will some day God put an end to all this foolishness

Can we ever see the great days that we once knew

Will prayer be heard in the schools like it once was

Will in God we trust by all the people again be true
