Something Got A Hold Of Me 2
1.
When first I heard,
of a people who claimed,
That old time religion was real.
I said I'll go down,
take a look at the crowd.
There's just how weak minded that I feel.
I walked up the steps,
peeked in at the door.
The devil said don't you go in.
I said it won't hurt me,
I'll just step inside,
and sit as far back as I can.
Chorus
But something got a hold of me.
Yes something got a hold of me.
I went there to fight,
but oh my that night.
God surely got a hold of me.
2.
They sang like they meant it
they all clapped their hands.
I said it's commotion that's all.
When they go down to pray,
I'll just up and leave.
I don't want to be seen here at all.
3.
About that time,
the preacher started to preach.
He looked right down straight at me.
He told everybody just how mean I was.
Didn't talk like he thought much of me.
I sat in my seat just thinking it o'er.
And then they all started to pray.
The fire fell from heaven,
and I fell to the floor.
I prayed there till God had His way.
4.
Now when I left home,
I said I can't stay very long.
I must be home about nine.
When the fire fell from heaven,
I fell to the floor.
Got home half past twelve,
but felt fine.
