I can remember when the revival came to town
It came to our little country church
Which was old and broken down
But in that splintered wooden pew I was made brand new
When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
Old man Kolinsky used to sit way in the back
Fell asleep with his hymnal open
As the choir voices cracked
His wife sat in the front pew because that is what you do
When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
Chorus
When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
The Word of God was preached and live's were turned around
People lifted hands in praise it lasted for many days
When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
And that preacher he could sure speak up a storm
The sweat poured off him like rain
telling us we must be reborn
Get down on bended knee and truly now be free
When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
And after church the people all stuck around
Everyone would speak at once
A loud confusing sound
They caught up on all the news they couldn't talk about in pews
When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
Chorus:
I still thank my Grandma to this very day
That she took me by the hand
To the place that I was saved
It's years now in the past but the memory always lasts
(of) When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
tag:
It was there that I first prayed and at the cross my sins I laid
When the travellin' revival meeting came to town
