In this world I've tried most everything

I'm happy now to say

There's nothing like religion

In the good old fashioned way

I'm walking in the old time way

And I want the world to know

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord than anything I know

There's nothing like an old time Christian

With a Christian love to show

I'm walking in the grand old highway

And I'm telling everywhere I go

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

All the world is bright since I got right

Now I sing and pray and shout

All my burdens have been lifted

Since the Savior brought me out

I will tell the world both far

And near as I travel here below

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord than anything I know

There's nothing like an old time Christian

With a Christian love to show

I'm walking in the grand old highway

And I'm telling everywhere I go

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord than anything I know

There's nothing like an old time Christian

With a Christian love to show

I'm walking in the grand old highway

And I'm telling everywhere I go

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord

Than anything I know
