CHURCH  FOR  SALE
© Words and Music: 
Ben Krahne/ Donna Aylor

I was born in a small town raised on the gospel truth
Took a job in the city where my faith lost it’s roots
So I packed up my lost soul ‘n drove back home today 
Found myself at my old church where I was saved
Can’t believe as I read the real estate  sign 

CHORUS
CHURCH FOR SALE
IT MAY LOOK WEATHERED BEYOND REPAIR
BEEN AWHILE SINCE IT HEARD A PRAYER
NEEDS LOVE,  HAMMER AND NAILS
AND A FRESH COAT OF FAITH
CHURCH FOR SALE

The side door is open so I walk in for a look
There’s cracks in the stained glass ‘n dusty prayer books
My Savior on the cross is like writing on the wall
If it weren’t for Sunday sermons might not be here at all
So I call the number on the sign

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Pastor Paul’s waiting on these worn out wooden steps
I say  “I hear my callin’ will you accept a check ?”

REPEAT CHORUS
