N.C. 
Some glad morning when this life is over 
N.C. 
I'll fly away in the morning 
N.C. 
To a home on God's celestial shore 
N.C. 
I'll fly away

Years ago when I was just a boy in the Oklahoma hills 
   E                                B7 
We didn't have a church in which to pray 
       E            B7              A 
So the people got together and they built one of their own 
       B7                                   E 
Just a shelter made of poles with a roof of hay 
 

 
        E             B7           A                  E 
Well it wasn't just a Baptist or a Church of the Nazarene 
    E                                  B7 
But people of all faiths came there to pray 
       E              B7                A 
And it didn't make no difference to the color or the time 
    B7                                     E 
And lots of folks would sing till break of day 
 

 
          A           B7          E 
When they called it a Brush Arbor meeting 
             C#m             F#              B7 
Oh you could hear the people singing far away 
     E            B7       A 
Just praising the Lord and shouting victory 
      B7                         E 
I can still hear them singing it today

There is power, power, wonder working power

In blood of the lamb

E              B7              A             E 
Now-a-days the churches are so pretty and so nice 
         E                                   B7 
And they all have different names upon their door 
      E                 B7                     A 
How I wish we all would shout and sing like we used to long ago 
    B7                          E 
And come together like we did before

Just praising the Lord and shouting victory 
      B7                         E 
I can still hear them singing it today
