Going Back to Church
by The Canton Spirituals

Album: Determined

I was raised in a home where mother taught us to go to church on every Sunday morning. And as I began to grow older, I strayed away from church and I strayed away from God.
And finally one morning I made up my mind that I was going to go back to church. And something happened to me on my way and maybe this same thing has happened to some of you.
That's why I wrote the words in this song.

I went to church one day.
Met satan on my way.
Satan tried so hard to turn me around.
Said you turned me around before,
but I won't turn around no more.
I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.
My, my, my, my, my, my
I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.

I opened up the door and the Pastor let me in.
The choir began to sing those gospel songs,
but I couldn't take no more
so I wind up on the floor.
I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.
My, my, my, my, my Lord.
I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.

So, if you're living in a world of sin,
Let Jesus take you in.
Go on back to church and serve the Lord.
Go on back to church and serve the Lord.

So, if you're listening to me
and you're blind and you can not see.
Oh, oh, oh, don't you let old satan turn you around.
If he's turned you around before
don't go back for more.
Going on back to church and serve the Lord.
Each and every day of my life.
I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.
I made it up in my mind.
I'm not going to let nobody turn me around.
I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah.
Yes I am.

I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.
Got a made-up mind.
Got a made-up mind.
Got a made-up mind.
Yes, I do.
I'm going on back to church y'all.
I'm going on back to church and serve the Lord.
