Verse 1-
Years have weathered
that precious sanctuary
its steeple is worn from decay
windows broken,
the walls are now leaning
but in my mind
I re-live its golden days
Chorus-
I'm going home to
the church in the wildwood
the little brown church in the vale
no other place is so sacred from my childhood
fond memories fill my mind still today
it's the place where I first met Jesus
mom and dad I know will be there
I'm going home to
the church in the wildwood
I'm going if only in my prayers
Verse 2-
Sunday morning
you'd hear church bells ringing
how they still beckon me to come
if I could hear
my mother's sweet voice singing
there's wonder working
power in the blood
repeat ch
(repeat chorus)
I'm going home to the church
in the wildwood
i'm going if only in my prayers
