" Within These Walls "

In the hills of West Virginia
Where the wild flowers grow
Stands a small country church
Where God's children go
-
The white paint on it's trim is faded
Its pews creak from ware
The hand books are worn
And its roof needs repair
-
The building is old
But this church will not fall
Supported by faith
There is a strength within its walls
-
Its heard many a sermon
From Gods love to his wrath
Its helped many a lost soul
To see the light and find their path
-
They gather here for different reasons
Some just to pray
Others are seeking guidance
For those who lost their way
-
Its here you can find peace
You can unburden your strife
For within these walls lays a strength
That's more powerful than life
-
They'll gather on Sunday morning
To the ringing of her bells
For within this small country church
The spirit of God dwells .
