I'D RATHER BE 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-fashioned 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.

CHORUS
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.
