The carpet may be tattered And the wood stained with tears And it might seem old fashioned But it's stood throughout the years Where countless souls have come To cry out to the father And if only for just one That's why we have this altar It's a haven for the broken For the weary and distressed And when every fear is spoken It's where we lay them all to rest And this old church and these old floors May look a little worn But it's a place where sinners come And saints are born For every mercy seeker It's the foot of the cross Where every faithful preacher Beckons to the lost Where Jesus always waits So hear the invitation To come kneel down in faith And trust him for salvation It's a haven for the broken For the weary and distressed And when every fear is spoken It's where we lay them all to rest And this old church and these old floors May look a little worn But it's a place where sinners come And saints are born Come home come home Calling oh sinner come home It's a haven for the broken For the weary and distressed And when every fear is spoken It's where we lay them all to rest And this old church and these old floors May look a little worn It's a place where sinners come And saints are born (saints are born)
