You could see they'd been around.

but over in the Amen corner of that church sat
D
Brother I and he insisted every Sunday

on singing in the choir.

His voice was cracked and broken,
G
age had touched his vocal chords
D
A
and nearly every Sunday
G
he'd get behind and miss the words.
D
G
Well the choir got so flustered

I must stop his singing

G
They found the choir's great trouble
D

sitting there in an old armchair,

dear brother,

A
D
G
a sign that he did hear,
C
G
and on his cheek the three men
caught the glitter of a tear.
D
His feeble hands pushed back
C
G
the locks as white as silky snow,
D
G
and he answered the committee
D
in a voice both soft and low.
I've sung the psalms of David

nearly 80 years, said he.
They've been my staff and comfort
A

all along life's ridden way.
Sorry I disturbed the choir,

I guess I'm doing wrong.

I can't keep back a song.

that's breaking at my feet,

In that far off heavenly temple
where my master I shall meet

the songs of God up higher

the old man bowed his head

where there are no church committees

and no fashionable choirs.
