Lyrics

Chorus: I really love those Country Christians,
The downright loving kind.
I really love those Country Christians.
They'll help you out when you're in a bind.
They're full of the love of Jesus
And buddy, they let it show!
I really love those Country Christians-
They're the right kind of folks to know, whoa whoa
They're a righteous kind of folks to know.

Well you take Aunt Glade over there,
If you like, she'll cut your hair,
Re-upholster your old chair,
Teach Sunday School year after year.
Let's talk about Mr. Freddie
Helping you? He's always ready
Just be sure he gets fed
Sweet syrup with his corn bread.

Just call them up and they'll be there.
Show you how they really care!
Oh - I - love.....
I really love those Country Christians......

These Christians like to pray and sing,
Thanking God for everything:
Their little church and all their friends
And lovin' that just never ends.
They'll keep it up till kingdom come
And then when this old journey's done
Continue on the other shore
Lovin' Jesus more and more.

Just call them up and yes, they'll pray
Livin' out that old time faith!
Oh - I - love....
I really love those Country Christians....

I hear the joy in your voice

What a start! Cute! Cute! Cute!

Music was up lifting and lyrics were concise with the story.

Very good production quality.
Good arrangement.
Vocals are great.
Very hooky, catchy hook line and title.
Kind of a throw-back 'Hee Haw' vibe.

Great song!!

Very amusing! Great demo work.

Nice lyrics, well sung and cool arrangement. Seems perfect for pitching to a religious themed film or tv series.

I am a christian and this is a very nice song. folks in the retirement home,would love it , would be a great song for a christian radio program its not a song that will work in country music,
Its a fun song, good tempo vocal style is a Brenda Lee, Keep on working on it.

This is not my genre (religious)but if you are into it, this song is light and fun.

Very interesting yet entertaining song.

Great song

Love all the aspects of this recording. A fun vibe! Well balanced production where the lyrics are easy to hear. Solid Vocal and Instrumentation. Love a song that 'pokes a little of fun' at itself!

Fun lyrics, arrangement, and production, but a bit too safe to be truly satire, if that's what you're aiming for... Needs to be a little more biting (a la "She got the gold mine, I got the shaft"), or if serious, a less comedic approach...

good gospel kid songs vocals was good

Great song. lyrics were great

Nice harmonies.

The song has a really good "old style" Country feel too it. The vocals and instrumentation really made this song enjoyable to it. The arrangement and production were also done well. It's a catchy song.

Sounds like you were having some fun....but

I thought it was an original lyric.

I really nice "pick me up" kind of song.

Clever lyrics. My personal opinion is that the vocal is more suited for ballads as it is a quality voice.

Very effective hook! Effective use of pauses and dramatic changes in volume. A little hokey, but some audiences will love that. OooOooO! Catchy tune. Simple instrumentation allow the vocals to shine and get the message across.

What a fun, happy pick-me-uplifting song. Cute vocal tricks did not go unnoticed either. Confident and original...
