I'd Rather Be An Old-time Christian

In this world I've tried most everything,

And I'm happy now to say

There is nothing like religion

In the good old-fashion way;

I am walking in the old time way,

And I want the world to know

That I'd rather be an old-time Christian

Than anything I know.

I'd rather be an old-time Christian

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

Than anything I know.

There are many things I'd like to be

As my journey I pursue,

I have longed to be a leader

Like a mortal man would do;

I would like to be a millionaire,

With a million to bestow,

But I'd rather be an old-time Christian

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 Saviour 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

Than anything I know.
