The Little wooden church on the hill, my mother would sing this song.

I hope this is the song that you're wanting.
If so it was written by Thomas A. Dorsey in 1936,
just incase you were wondering.

Little Wooden Church On The Hill

Verse: 1
It was in, my childhood, many years ago,
with the spirit of the Savior, I was filled,
at an old fashion meeting, my memory lingers still,
in that little old wooden church, way out on the hill.

Chorus:
You could hear the people singing, about a half a mile away,
and your heart begins to get that sudden thrill,
it would start your body moving, till you couldn't keep it still,
in that little old wooden church out on the hill.

Verse: 2
Every Sunday morning, we had our family prayer,
then into that country wagon we would be,
then we'd start out on our journey, over rocks and over reels,
to that little old wooden church way out on the hill.

Verse: 3
Many folks have passed us, and many folks have gone,
but that sweet old golden memory lingers still,
I'm gonna keep that holy spirit, till death my body chills,
I got it in that wooden church, out on that hill.

Verse: 4
Then when that old fashioned preacher, gave out a metered hymn,
the crowd with the holy ghost was filled,
people would be shouting, thank God I can hear them still,
in that little wooden church way out on the hill.
