Norman Blake ~ I'd Rather Be An Old-Time Christian

In this world I tried most everything and I’m happy now to say
There’s nuthin 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 Oldtime Christian, Lord, than anything I know

CHORUS
I’d rather be an Oldtime Christian, Lord, than anything I know
Nothing like an Oldtime Christian w/the Christian love to show
I’m walking in the grand old highway and I’ll tell it everywhere I go
I’d rather be an Oldtime Christian, Lord, than anything I know

There are many things I'd like to be as my journey I pursue
I would long to be a leader, as a mortal man would do
I'd like to be a millionaire with a million to bestow
I'd rather be an Oldtime Christian, Lord, than anything I know

CHORUS

All the world is bright since I got right, 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 Oldtime Christian, Lord, than anything I know

I’d rather be an Oldtime Christian, Lord, than anything I know
Nothing like an Oldtime Christian w/the Christian love to show
I’m walking in the grand old highway and I’ll tell it everywhere I go
I’d rather be an Oldtime Christian than anything I know
