Why did you come to the Church House today?  
                             Well I came to sing,worship and pray 
                     Why did you come,why make such a choice?
                       I came here to listen,for my father's voice.
    
                  Why did you come to the Church House today?
                          What are you doing in this place I pray?
                            I came to learn about God and his son
                             I came to find out how Heaven is won

                      Well,what brought you here to sit on a pew?
                          What is the purpose,what will you do?
                           I came for fellowship,Christian love
                             I came to pray to our God above.

                     Why did you come here?What was the mood?
                        Well I was real hungry for spiritual food
                        My soul gets so hungry,I just cannot wait
               To set down with God's people and say,please pass the plate

                          Why did I come here today to this place?
                            Tis here I receive of His marvelous grace
                               I am his child and here I can hide
                           The world is not here with its fearsome tide

                           Here in this place my needs are all met
                            Spiritual needs that I can't just forget
                               Close to my Savior I will be today
                              Aren't you glad you came this way..
