Lyrics

I CAME TO HEAR THE SINGIN?
Fran Powers ? BMI

Chorus:
I CAME TO HEAR THE SINGING
I stayed to hear the preaching
I ended up believing in the Lord
Now I ?m living by His Glory
I ?m passing on His Story...
It?s the sweetest story that I?ve ever heard.

Verse 1:
When I was just a kid, my folks sent me to Sunday School,
I mem-o-rized some scriptures, I still know the Golden Rule.
Didn?t pay to much attention. but I always loved the songs,
So Jesus used my singin? to bring me back where I belong.

Repeat chorus:

Verse 2:
When it comes to ta1king, I can ?t hardly say a word.
I was taught that children should be seen, but seldom heard.
When somebody says, ?Just speak right up?, then I can ?t say a thing,
But you can?t hardly stop me, when I start in to sing.

Repeat chorus and out.
