(G)At first when I heard of some people who claim
That the old-time religion was (D)real
I (G)said "I'll go down, take a (C)look at the crowd
For (G)just that weak (D)minded I (G)feel."
(G)I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door
But the devil said, "don't you go (D)in!"
But I (G)said, "it won't hurt me I'll (C)just step inside
And I'll (G)set as far (D)back as I (G)can."
Chorus(G)Something got a hold of me (praise god)
Yes something got a hold of (D)me
I (G)went there to fight, but I'll (C)tell you that night
God (G)certainly got a (D)hold of (G)me.
They sang like they meant it, they all clapped their hands
I said, "it's commotion, that's all."
"when they get down to pray, I'll just get up and leave
For I don't wanta be seen here at all."
But I bowed that time, he got started to preach
And he looked straight down at me
He told ev'rybody how mean that I was
He didn't talk like he thought much of me.
I sat in my seat 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.
