Some people say, that this old time religion Is just a thing of the past But in this modern age that we're livin' It's the only thing that will last Now you may think I'm a little old fashioned Well friend, that's alright with me 'Cause I'm so glad that I am a Christian And from sin I have been set free I know, I know, there's no doubt about it He's real in my heart, and I'm gonna shout it I know, I know, my sins are forgiven And I'm on my way to a place thats called heaven Not long ago, at an old fashioned meeting I knelt on my knees there in prayer
He lifted my burdens and shackles fell from me And his presence was so real everywhere Now that the load I carry is lighter And He's changed the grey skies to blue My steps are now higher for I have this a**urance That His sweet love will carry me through Come go with me to that land over yonder He's prepared for the pure and the true It's a place where sickness and d**h can not enter I'm going, brother, how about you? Maybe today, maybe tomorrow He'll return in robes of pure white I'm packing up now, getting my things together
