"The Church In The Oaks"
A small country Church
nestled deep in the Oaks
The people who go there--
just simple folks.
Jesus died on a tree
that was much like these.
It wasn't the world
that he came to please--
But to bring salvation
to those on their knees.
Truly Thankful, this little Church
nestled deep in the Oaks
That He did what He did--
For just simple folks!
Rev. Charles and Barb Updike
