At first when I heard of some people who claim
That the old-time religion was real
I said "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd
For just that weak-minded I feel."

I walked up the steps and I peeked in the door
But the devil said, "don't you go in!"
But I said, "it won't hurt me I'll just step inside
And I'll set as far back as I can." (but-)

[Chorus]
Something got a hold of me (praise god)
Yes something got a hold of me (oh! lord)
I went there to fight, but I'll tell you that night
God certainly got a hold of 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. (for-)

[Chorus]
Al principio, cuando escuché de algunas personas que afirman
Que la religión de antaño era real
Dije "bajaré, echaré un vistazo a la multitud
Sólo por esa debilidad mental que siento."

Subí las escaleras y miré por la puerta.
Pero el diablo dijo: "¡no entres!"
Pero dije, "no me hará daño, simplemente entraré
Y me sentaré lo más atrás que pueda." (pero-)

[Coro]
Algo se apoderó de mí (alabado sea Dios)
Sí, algo se apoderó de mí (¡oh! Señor)
Fui allí a pelear, pero te lo diré esa noche.
Dios ciertamente se apoderó de mí.

Cantaron como si lo dijeran en serio, todos aplaudieron
Dije: "es conmoción, eso es todo".
"Cuando bajen a orar, yo simplemente me levantaré y me iré.
Porque no quiero que me vean aquí en absoluto".

Pero me incliné esa vez, él comenzó a predicar.
Y él me miró directamente
Le dijo a todo el mundo lo malo que era
No hablaba como si pensara mucho en mí.

Me senté en mi asiento pensando en ello
Y entonces todos empezaron a orar.
El fuego cayó del cielo, caí al suelo
Oré allí y Dios se salió con la suya. (para-)

[Coro]
