Sister Liam's Book of Church Songs

church on the hill

originally: castle on the hill by ed sheeran

when I was six years old I first went to church
i sat right by my brother and his friends
and sang along to the praises that the large choir had sung

i was younger, wow
and i still go now

i gave god my heart and my life
jesus saves me from pain and strife
and i can't wait to walk through those doors
i know i've grown
and i can't wait to go home

i'm on my way
singing gospel as i drive down those lanes
god you are my father
and i love the way
god makes me feel
and it's real
as i read the bible over at the church on the hill

fifteen years old and worshiping our savior
running from the halls of the church and thanking god with my friends
i got baptized on a friday night
so now i can live life right

i was younger, wow
and i still go now

i found a god to love, he sets me straight
i love church so much and i'm never late
me and my friends have praised him for so long
oh, how we've grown
and i can't wait to go home

i'm on my way
singing gospel as i drive down those lanes
god you are my father
and i love the way
god makes me feel
and it's real
as i read the bible over at the church on the hill
over at the church on the hill
over at the church on the hill

one friend left to preach on his own
one started a church, now that he's grown
one has started a gospel career
one has secrets for only god to hear
one's a priest down the street
one's the most holy you'll ever meet
but these people helped me
and i can't wait to go home

and i'm on my way
I still remember driving down these lanes
when god gave us all the answers
and I love the way
god makes me feel
and it's real
when i read the bible over at the church on the hill
over at the church on the hill
over at the church on the hill
