In this world I've
tried most everything
and I'm happy now to say
There's nothing like religion
in a good old -fashioned way
I'm walking in this old -time way
and I want the world to know
I'd rather be an old -time Christian
More than anything I know
I'd rather be an old -time Christian
More than anything I know
There's nothing like
an old -time Christian
With a Christian love to show
I'm walking in the Grendel Highway
And I'm telling everyone where I go
I'd rather be an old -time Christian
More than anything I know
All the world is bright since I got right,
now I sing and pray and shout.
All the burdens have been lifted
since the Savior brought me out.
I will fill the world, both far and near,
as its panel here below.
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 -loving soul
I'm walking in the grand old highway,
to the day I fall
There'll never be an old -time Christian
than anything I know
