At first when I heard of some people who claimThat the old-time religion was realI said "I'll go down, take a look at the crowdFor just that weak-minded I feel."I walked up the steps and I peeked in the doorBut the Devil said, "Don't you go in!"But I said, "It won't hurt me I'll just step insideAnd I'll set as far back as I can." Something got a hold of me [Praise God]Yes something got a hold of me [Oh! Lord]I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that nightGod certainly got a hold of me.They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their handsI said, "It's commotion, that's all.""When they get down to pray, I'll just get up and leaveFor I don't wanta be seen here at all."But I bowed that time, he got started to preachAnd he looked straight down at meHe told ev'rybody how mean that I wasHe didn't talk like he thought much of me.I sat in my seat just thinkin' it o'erLetras de cancionesAnd then they all started to prayThe fire fell from Heaven, I fell to the floorI prayed there and God had His way.Something got a hold of me [Praise God]Yes something got a hold of me [Oh! Lord]I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that nightGod certainly got a hold of me. From Letras Mania
