When I was just a little kid
And growing up in the middle of nowhere
My mama said to me
It's Sunday morning, boy
You know it's time for church
And we got to go there
So you better listen closely
Get on up, get yourself dressed
Son, put on your Sunday best
We're running late
There's a place we got to be
Now is the time, this is the place
So let's begin it
We're not just in this race to run
We're here to win it
Well, we got life and we got love
And true forgiveness
If you want it now, come on down
If you want it now, come on down
Well I remember listening to the preacher
Talk about salvation
And the mercy of the Lord
When he stood up that Sunday morning
And gave the invitation
I couldn't wait there anymore
I stood on up and walked the aisle
And then I saw that preacher smile
Boy, come on down if you want to find your way
Now is the time, this is the place
So let's begin it
We're not just in this race to run
We're here to win it
We got life and we got love
And true forgiveness
If you want it now, come on down
If you want it now, come on down now
Whoa, come on, come on down, yeah
Come on down now
Come on, come on down
I stood on up and walked the aisle
Then I saw that preacher smile
Boy, come on down if you want to find your way
Now is the time, this is the place
So let's begin it
We're not just in this race to run
We're here to win it
We got life and we got love
And true forgiveness
If you want it now, come on down
If you want it now, come on down now
If you want it now, come on down, yeah yeah
Oh come on, come on down, yeah
If you want love and true forgiveness
Come on down, come get a witness
Come on down
