Sigh, I had it all arranged. I could hear the mandolin on the rusty bells, the banjo/guitar on the verse... Then Barbra goes and reminds me that you could be a purist and not call bluegrass folk. I wonder if adding a harp with the mandolin on the rusty bells would get it out of bluegrass...

Anyway, it is a great idea, but I think it needs work. Drop some words, add others.

So here is how I see it. Think of John Denver's Country Roads for the start of the tune. However this is a different song and different sound. You can make that out yourself.

Almost empty, all the chapels
And no one, praying there
they have let the bells get rusty
Don't they care, anymore?

Rusty bells.....Rusty bells....(this is a moarnful sound the first time, and brigher the rest, don't be afraid to sing flat)
Call your people back
Call them back
To kneel and pray (faster, and hopeful, remember your calling them to an activity you love, and want everyone to love)
Call them back, Rusty Bells! (They may be rusty, but they are calling people back, making a joyfull noise to heaven and all that.

Pity those who've gone astray
on the straight and narrow set their feet.
Wash their sins, wash the tears from their eyes

When we are, scared and beaten
in a strange, unknown land.
lift us from the evil round us, unto thine endless day!

(bridge)I heard them ring in the morning in the evening
And the orgran filled us with they great joy!
kneeling at the altar I get the peace that I should had everyday.

(last courus)Make it mine, make me free
By the blood, my savior shed
I came back, I repented
Called me back, thanks rusty bells!
