[Chorus](2X) You ought to stop by the church sometime Stop by the church sometime Oh something may be said To help you on your way If you stop by the church sometime [Verse 1] When you see the deacon Come out and sing a song Give testimony About what the Lord has done The holy ghost is moving Until every pain and care Is left behind You got a made up mind Leave your burdens there You gotta listen to the songs That they sing Listen to the songs That they sing The words of a song Help you to carry on If you stop by the church sometime You can listen to the prayer That they pray Listen to the prayers That they pray Oh while you're there in prayer The Holy Ghost will meet you there If you stop by the church sometime When you see the preacher Come out and take the stand Read the holy scripture You ought to try and take it in In that holy bible It's got everything you need You can find a scripture Of every description If you take a little time and read [Vamp] Ever feel lonely (Stop by the church) In need of a friend (Stop by the church) If your burdens getting heavy (Stop by the church) If you feel misused (Stop by the church)
If you feel abused (Stop by the church) [Vamp 2] Know you been talked about Stop by the church But that's alright Stop by the church That's alright Stop by the church That's alright Stop by the church Listen to the preacher Stop by the church Listen to the preacher Stop by the church You feel like singing Stop by the church Just like singing Stop by the church You feel like shouting Stop by the church When the Holy Ghost come (when the Holy Ghost come) (Stop by the church) When the Holy Ghost come (When the Holy Ghost come) When the Holy Ghost come (Stop by the church) You ought to stop by the church sometime Stop by the church sometime Something may be said To help you on your way If you stop by the church sometime You ought to stop by the church sometime You ought to stop by the church sometime Stop by the church Stop by the church Stop by the church You ought to stop by the church sometime Stop by the church sometime [Outro] Something may be said To help you on your way If you stop by the church sometime You ought to stop by the church sometime You ought to stop by the church sometime
