Something Got A Hold Of Me


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
For it's just a weak mind that I feel"
I walked up the steps, peeked in the door
But 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, praise God!
Yes something got a hold of me
I went there to fight, but oh my that night
God certainly got a hold of me.

2.
They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands
I said, "Its commotion, thats all"
When they get down to pray, I'll just up and leave
For I don't want to be seen here at all
But about that time the preacher started to preach
And he looked right down straight down at me
He told everybody how mean that I was
He didn't talk like he thought much of me

3.
I sat in my chair just thinkin' it o'er
And then they all started to pray
The fire fell from Heaven, I fell to the floor
I prayed there and God had His way
And now I know there's no room to doubt
For I got an experience that night
I will never forget it as long as I live
I found out salvation was right

Chorus
But something got a hold of me, praise God!
Yes something got a hold of me
I went there to fight, but oh my that night
God certainly got a hold of me.

4.
Now when I left home,
I thought I can't stay very long.
I must be home about nine.
But the fire fell from heaven, and I fell to the floor.
Got home four hours late, but felt fine.

Chorus
But something got a hold of me, praise God!
Yes something got a hold of me
I went there to fight, but oh my that night
God certainly got a hold of me.
