Lyrics of Something got a hold on me

At first when i heard of some people who say that old time religion is real
I said i'll go down take a look at the crowd for it's just a weak mind that i feel
I walked up the steps and peeked then at the door the devil said don't you go in
I said it won't hurt me i just stepped inside and said as for back as i can
They sang like they meant it with all of their hearts i said it's emotion that's all
When they get down to pray i'll just get up and leave
I don't won't to be seen here at all
The preacher got up and he started to preach as he looked right straight down at me
He told everybody just how mean i was didn't talk like he thought so much of me
But something got a hold on me yes something got a hold on me
I went there to fight but oh my that night god certainly got a hold on me

I sat in my seat just a thinkin' it o'er and they all started to pray
The fire fell from heaven i knelt to the door i've prayed there as god had his way
At last now i know that i don't need to doubt i got an experience that night
I'll never forget it as long as i live i've found that salvation is right
Yes something got a hold on me...
