Long ago when just a boy at old camp meetin' time

How my heart would beat with joy

To hear the old bells chime

Callin' all the saints of god onto the house of prayer

Oh such prayin' singin' shoutin' for the lord was there

I like the old time preachin' prayin' singin' shoutin'

I like the old time readin' of god's words

I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory

I like the old time worship of the lord

Preachin' in them good ole days was still filled

With holy acclaim

Preachin' for the souls of men and not for worldly fame

Under such old fashion preachin' sinners knelt to pray

And the lord would save them in that good ole fashion way

I like the old time preachin' prayin' singin' shoutin'

I like the old time readin' of god's words

I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory

I like the old time worship of the lord

In these latter days they say that there is no use to pray

All we need is to think religion 'tis a better way

But I'm here to tell you brother Jesus saves from sin

In that old time way he saved me now he dwells within

I like the old time preachin' prayin' singin' shoutin'

I like the old time readin' of god's words

I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory

I like the old time worship of the lord
