some glad morning when this life is o re i ll fly away to a home on god s celestial shore i ll fly away years ago when i was just a boy in the oklahoma hills we didn t have a church in which to pray so the people got together and they built one of their own just a shelter made of poles with a roof of hay well it wasn t just a baptist or the church of the nazarene for the people of all faiths came there to pray and it didn t make no difference to the color or the time and lots of folks would sing till break of day when they called in a brush arbor meeting oh you could hear the people singing far away just praising the lord and shouting victory i can still hear em singing it today there is power power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb there is power power wonder working power in the precious blood of the lamb nowadays the churches are so pretty and so nice and they all have different names upon their door how i wish we all would shout and sing like we used to long ago and come together like we did before whenthey called in a brush arbor meeting oh you could hear the people singing far away just praising the lord and shouting victory i can still hear em singing it today gimme that old time religion gimme that old time religion gimme that old time religion it s good enough for me and they called it a brush arbor meeting oh you could hear the people singing far away just praising the lord and shouting victory i can still hear em singing it today just praising the lord and shouting victory i can still hear em singing it today
