I'd Rather Be An Old Time Christian

I'd Rather Be An Old Time Christian
Written by Albert E. Brumley

C
In this world I've tried most everything

I'm happy now to say there's nothing like religion
D7 G7
In the good old fashioned way
C
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
G7 C
Than anything I know


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

There's nothing like an old time Christian
D7 G7
With a Christian love to show
C
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
G7 C
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
D7 G7
Since the Savior brought me out
C
I will tell the world both far and near as I travel here below

That I'd rather be an old time Christian Lord
G7 C
Than anything I know
