THE BIG BETHEL CHURCH

.
The Big Bethel church! The Big Bethel church!

Done put old Satan behind him.

If a sinner gets loose from any other church,

The Big Bethel church will find him!
.

It's good to be there, and it's sweet to be there,

With the sistering all around you --

A-shaking those shackles of mercy and love

Wherewith the Lord has bound you.
.

It's sweet to be there and listen to the hymns,

And hear those mourners a-shoutin' --

They done reached the place where there ain't no room

For any weepin' and doubtin'.
.

It's good to be there, when the sinners all join

With the brothering in there singin',

And it looks like Gabriel going to rack up and blow

And set  them heaven bells to ringin'.
.

Oh, the Big Bethel church! the Big Bethel church,

Done  put old Satan behind him.

If a sinner gets loose from any other church

The Big Bethel church will find him.
