Took some time, but I think I got it!
My life gets so vexed by this world that we're in,
By battles and struggles and the heartache of sin;
Old Satans attack the church of today,
They fled God's old paths and they found a new way
But thank God for the altar, that's where I got in,
That old-time conviction revealed all my sin;
That old King James Bible, it still works today,
Thank God I was raised in the old-fashioned way.
That old-fashioned preacher, they say he must go,
"Just give us a smooth one that puts on a show;
Don't sing us those old songs about dark Calvary,
Just sing us a new song and happy we'll be."
But I'd like to tell you, I'm not going that way,
I'll stay with the blood and the price Jesus paid;
I was born in the fire, and the smoke will not do,
I'm walking the old paths, Brother, how about you?
Thank God for the altar, that's where I got healed
That old-time conviction revealed all my sin;
That old King James Bible it still works today,
Thank God I was raised in the old-fashioned way.
