I've was the pastor of this little church on the edge of downtown Cedar Falls, IA for 8 years. It was here long before me-- and there's just something timeless about the space. I wrote this song a kind of "Christmas Card" for the congregation. 

 

On main street between 10th street and 12th

Stands a l'l church that is like no place else

For years upon years saints there gather to pray 

And look to the heavens for hope on Sunday 

 

Chorus 

It's where God is still great, and His word preached as true 

The fellowship sweet and the coffee well-brewed 

Jesus still saves and he's coming again 

When we all get together at the li'l church on main. 

 

St. Pat's to the north and Naz to the south 

We all bless the Lord with His praise in our mouth 

Some like the crowd, we are family 

We serve one another, by His grace we are Free! 

 

With prayer and petition in a quaint upper room 

Saints midweek seek a revival to bloom 

In a world that is sinking under weight of our sin 

The Light of the world has now entered in! 

 

It's where God is still great, and His word preached as true 

The fellowship sweet and the coffee well-brewed 

Jesus still saves and he's coming again 

When we all get together at the li'l church on main. 

When we all get together at the li'l church on main. 

Let's all get together at the li'l church on main.
