I’D RATHER BE A 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 Am 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 l travel here below,
That I’d rather be an
old-time Christian
Than anything I know.
