Old Wooden Church , Country Lyric critique

by Charlie
(Alabama)

There’s an old wooden church
On a back road
Not too far from where I used to live
It was there in Sunday school
Where I found Jesus
And learned about
How
God forgives

The preacher man would stand
By the alter
We’d sing, just as I am
And Jesus Saves
and give Glory and Honor to the Father
And thank him
For the gift
He gave

Now the churches I attend
are so much bigger
Than that old wooden church near where I lived
but the Kids in Sunday school
Still find Jesus
And learn about
How
God forgives

and The preacher man still stands
By the alter
As we sing Just as I Am
And Jesus Saves
And we give Glory and Honor to the Father
And thank him
For the gift
He gave

No matter where you are
At this moment
If you want to find a new way to live
You don't have to be in a church
To find Jesus
And to know
that
God forgives

Just take the hand of the one
Who never falters?
As we sing Just as I Am
And Jesus Saves
And give Glory and Honor to the Father
And thank him
For the gift
He gave

There’s an old wooden church
On a back road
Not too far from where I used to live

I like it
by: David

I think you've done well with the lyrics for the most part, though it's a little lengthy. I might remove the verse towards the last - it sounds a bit like preaching. Mind you I'm not an accomplished song writer just a guy with an opinion.

Good luck and happy trails.
