Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Dedicated to happy days spent worshiping with the folk at West Kirby Elim Pentecostal Church back in the late 1970's.
Lyrics
Little Town Church ( Adrian J. Pratt 1978) There's a little town church at the bottom of the hill Where the congregation never get bored Every Sunday I used to go there, Sing my praises to the Lord The people there were always so friendly They seemed to have so much joy It was all I could do, to stop leaping from the pew Doing a little dance for the Lord. The service used to start with everybody singing, All shouting praise to the Lord There might be a hymn, someone would get up and sing, As the organist strikes up the chords. Everybody got down to pray, Troubles and doubts would drift away Everybody joined together, And tried to be on one accord. There's a little town church at the bottom of the hill Where the congregation never get bored Every Sunday I used to go there, Sing my praises to the Lord The people there were always so friendly They seemed to have so much joy It was all I could do, to stop leaping from the pew Doing a little dance for the Lord. After a time of singing and praying, Pastor laid the gospel down You could usually tell by peoples reactions, If what was said was sound. When that bible's read. People getting fed The Spirit spoke to my heart, It was like I was standing on holy ground There's a little town church at the bottom of the hill Where the congregation never get bored Every Sunday I used to go there, Sing my praises to the Lord The people there were always so friendly They seemed to have so much joy It was all I could do, to stop leaping from the pew Doing a little dance for the Lord. On a Sunday morning, pass the bread and wine around, Gathering round the Lord's table, We knew God was in our town, People got healed, new things were revealed And people spoke in other tongues, Every one was looking forward to the day of the Lord, When Jesus in glory comes. here's a little town church at the bottom of the hill Where the congregation never get bored Every Sunday I used to go there, Sing my praises to the Lord The people there were always so friendly They seemed to have so much joy It was all I could do, to stop leaping from the pew Doing a little dance for the Lord. It was all I could do, to stop leaping from the pew Doing a little dance for the Lord.
