Intro
Verse 1
It Was An Old Barn On The Outskirts Of Town
With Bushes And Weeds And An Acre Of Ground
They Couldn't Do Better, They Could Have Done Worse
They Fixed It Up Into A Church
Verse 2
They Made Them Some Benches And Called Them Their Pews
They Gathered Up Any Old Stuff They Could Use
The Altar Was Made From An Old Wooden Crate
The Whole Thing Was Built On Their Faith
Chorus
And They Called It A Church, Some Called It A Barn
The Winter Was Cold, The Summer Was Warm
Comfort Came Second And Jesus Came First
And That's Why They Called It A Church
Interlude
Verse 3
The Old Weathered Planks Were Ced Up At The Ends
The Rusty Tin Roof Let The Water Come In
The Preacher Man Praying And Hymns That Were Sung
Rang Out Where Tobacco Once Hung
Verse 4
They Didn't Dress Up, They Just Came As They Were
Their Working Hands Clean And Their Loving Hearts Pure
It's Been Said That God Does Mysterious Work
And That's Why They Called It A Church
Out-Chorus
And They Called It A Church, Some Called It A Barn
The Winter Was Cold, The Summer Was Warm
Comfort Came Second And Jesus Came First
And That's Why They Called It A Church
Comfort Came Second And Jesus Came First
And That's Why They Called It A Church
