THE OLD FASHIONED MEETING

Oh, how well I remember 
in the old-fashioned days,
When some old-fashioned
people had
some old-fashioned ways;
In the old-fashioned meetings,
as they tarried there,
In the old-fashioned manner,
How God answered their prayer.

CHORUS
Twas an old-fashioned meeting,
In an old-fashioned place,
Where some old-fashioned
people had some
old-fashioned grace:
As an old-fashioned sinner
I began to pray,
And God heard me,
and saved me in the
old-fashioned way.

There was singing,
such singing of those
old-fashioned airs!
There was power, such power in those
old-fashioned prayers,
An old-fashioned conviction
made the sinner pray,
And the Lord,heard and
saved him,
In the old-fashioned way.

Well, they say it is better,
Things have changed
don’t you know,
And the people in general,
seem to think it is so;
And they call me old-fashioned
when I dare to say,
That I like it far better in
the old-fashioned way.

If the Lord never changes,
as the fashions of men,
If He’s always the same, why,
He is old-fashioned then!
As an old-fashioned sinner saved
thro’ old time grace,
Oh, I’m sure He will take me to an
old-fashioned place.
