"Something Got Hold Of Me"
R. E. Winsett (arr)
1st
Oh, when I first heard of the people who claim that old time religion is real,
I said, "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd, it's just the weak minded I feel."
chorus:
But something got hold of me, Yes, something got hold of me;
I went there to fight, but, oh, my, that night! God surely got hold of me.
2nd
I walked up the steps and I looked in the door, the devil said, "don't you go in,"
I said, " It won't hurt me, I'll just step in side, and sit as far back as I can."
chorus
3rd
The preacher just then his sermon began, and looked right straight down on me;
He told everyone just how evil I was and seemed not to think much of me.
chorus
4th
And just about then someone started to shout, he said that he knew he was saved;
All plainly could see, with no reason to doubt, salvation to him the Lord gave.
chorus
5th
I said when I went that I could not stay long, that I must be home by nine;
I fell to my knees, and the fire then came down, tho' late, I was feeling so fine.
