Little Delta Church Lyrics & Chords

By George Knight

(D)Amazing Grace how (G)sweet the (D)sound that saved a wretch like (A)me



Along the (D)river by the road (G)near a Mississippi (D)town

Was a place where my family loved to (A)go

Was the (D)church house with a steeple and was (G)always filled with people

Cause the (D)neighbors came from miles and (A)miles (D)around



As a boy and as a man in the (G)front row I would (D)stand

And raised my voice to God up in the (A)sky 

Every(D)body joined the singing till the (G)little church was ringing

With (D)songs like In (A)The Sweet By And (D)By



In the sweet by and (A)by

We shall meet on that beautiful (D)shore

Though I've long been lost in sin (G)I can dream it back (D)again

To the little church that's (A)nestled in my (D)mind



In the early part of May delta nights were hard to take

So we opened up the windows and the doors

The congregation's sat and fanned some with bibles in their hands

Out into the night the words of God would pour



(D)Precious memories how they linger

(G)How they ever flood my (D)soul

In the stillness (G)of the (D)midnight

Precious (A)sacred scenes (D)unfold



In the sweet by and by

We shall meet on that beautiful shore

Though I've long been lost in sin I can dream me back again

To the little church that's nestled in my mind
