He wakes up early, puts on his only blue suit

He hasn’t quite mastered tyin’ his tie on the way his sweet Sarah used to

It’s been years since he’s talked to the good Lord, he’s not sure he even knows how

But he won’t be mowin’ the front yard today

He goes to church on Sundays now



No, he don’t know the words to “The Old Rugged Cross”

But he sings them the best that he can

‘Cause he knows that his angel is up there in Heaven

And he sure wants to see her again



For thirty-one years they were married, she never could get him to go

Now he’s up bright and early, there by nine-thirty and sits on the very front row

He bows his head with the members and he shouts “Amen” good and loud

If only his Sarah could see him today

He goes to church on Sundays now



His kids can’t believe how he’s changing

They tell him their mama’d be proud

And he’s always asking them all to go with him

He goes to church on Sundays now



He woke up early this morning

He goes to church on Sundays now
