There's a meetin' at the churchouse
where God's children come to pray
where we all can meet on Sunday
to hear His word and sing His praise.
Chorus:
There's a meeting at the churchouse
where God's children come to pray
and hear the preachin' from the Bible (from the Bible)
brother won't you come today
Come and hear the choir a-singin'
those old hymns we love to hear
'bout how by faith we can be saved
and no longer fear the grave (Chorus)
There's is a preacher at the churchouse
who teaches the words that Jesus said
and how our Savior died on calvary
and how God raised Him from the dead (Chorus)

Lord make of me Your vessel, bring me close to You
in every word I speak, in every deed I do
help me walk upon Your word, Lord keep me in thy sight
in the sunshine of the day and through the darkest night.
Refrain:
in every word I speak, in every deed I do.
Lord, make of me Your vessel, and bring me close to You.
Lord be near and touch me, mold me to your way
for You are the Potter, and I'm but simple clay
give me words in my mouth, to speak out for Your sake
in the calm of the dawn, or in the stormy wake. (Refrain)
Give me strength and courage, to stand against the pain.
of this lost and hostile world, that hates Your very name
make me Your humble servant that I might do my tiny part
to spread Your love and Gospel Lord, even to the hardest hearts. (Refrain)

In the Bible, we are told . . . Of a rich man who puts his faith in gold,
But the gold couldn't help him when he died
all his wealth was left behind, all his wealth was left behind
Do you think you have your life together? . . .you've have it made, you got it all
But just like that rich man in the parable, Pride goeth before the fall! (2)
Chorus:
If you don't call upon the Savior (Savior)
and ask Him for His wonderful grace (his wonderful grace)
You'll be trapped in the devil's dungeon
and lost in the dark and evil place. (2)
Eternity lies ahead, my friend . . . The future's not ours to tell
Don't put your faith in earthly treasures,
for they can't buy your soul from hell (2) (Chorus)

Chorus verse:
I'm sendin' a thank you note to Jesus, for the gift he gave
of his precious blood, so this sinner could be saved
a deep appreciation for the cross of Calvary
a thank you note to Jesus. . . 'cause He rescued me
He lived up there in Heaven, by the Father's hand
Part of the Holy Trinity, all at His command
but he left it all behind, for a life upon this Earth
in a lowly manger. . . was His humble birth.
Chorus:
Sendin' a thank you note to Jesus, for the gift he gave
of his precious blood, so this sinner could be saved
a deep appreciation for the cross of Calvary
a thank you note to Jesus. . . 'cause He rescued me
A sinner serving Satan, I was a awful sight
I was lost in darkness, didn't know there was a Light
gave in to all temptation, of this world below
never had a clue. . . how Jesus loved me so (Chorus)
Then I heard the old old story, and my heart leaped in my chest
that is when I knew my sins I must confess
and ask the Holy Spirit to come in to my life
and now I sit down. . . this thank you note to write. . .(Chorus)
Tag:
a deep appreciation for the cross on Cal-va-ry (slow)
a thank you note to Jesus. . . 'cause He rescued me
