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
