[Intro]
| G | C | G | C D |
[Verse 1]
G G
I was walking down a country road
D G
I couldn't help but see
C G
A pile of wood and mortar
G D
Where the church used to be
G G
As I joined a crowd of lookers
G G7 C
I heard an old man say
C G
Why that's just an old building
D G Gadd11 G
That church moved away
[Chorus]
D D
Some moved across the country
C G
Others across town
C G
Some are in the nursing home
G D
But most are in the ground
G G
They're waiting for the Lord's returning
G G7 C
And on this you can relie
C G
At the sounding of the trumpet
D G
You'll see that old church rise
[Post-Chorus]
| C | G | C D |
[Verse 2]
G G
He said the sound of preaching
D G
It no longer fills the air
C G
The singing and shouting
G D
Can't be heard anywhere
G G
To the world it looks defeated
G G7 C
But hear me when I say
C G
This old building has crumbled
D G Gadd11 G
But the church moved away
[Chorus]
D D
Some moved across the country
C G
Others across town
C G
Some are in the nursing home
G D
But most are in the ground
G G
They're waiting for the Lord's returning
G G7 C
And on this you can relie
C G
At the sounding of the trumpet
D G
You'll see that old church rise
C G
At the sounding of the trumpet
D G
You'll see that old church rise
[Outro]

The church will rise
