(2nd verse by Barry Neufeld)

          I love to go to the church where the healing waters flow,
          Where I can be with the Christian friends I know,
          That's where my soul and my spirit feel so free,
          Somehow, it seems just like Heaven there to me.

            Refrain
            I love to go to the Church in the Little Green Valley,
            That's where I found the Lord one day.
            I love to go to the Church in the Little Green Valley,
            That's where my sins were washed away.
            That's where God's people sing the songs I love to hear,
            That's where I feel the presence of my Lord so near.
            I love to go to the Church in the Little Green Valley,
            That's where my sins were washed away.

          I love to sing all the songs, that I learn't at Mother's knee,
          Songs of salvation, how the Lord has set me free;
          No higher praise sung by angel choirs above
          Equals the songs about our Savior's Love

            Refrain
            I love to go to the Church in the Little Green Valley,
            That's where I found the Lord one day.
            I love to go to the Church in the Little Green Valley,
            That's where my sins were washed away.
            That's where God's people sing the songs I love to hear,
            That's where I feel the presence of my Lord so near.
            I love to go to the Church in the Little Green Valley,
            That's where my sins were washed away.
