Verse-1:
IN THIS WORLD I’VE TRIED MOST EVERYTHING
AND I’M HAPPY NOW TO SAY.
THERE’S 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.

Verse-2:
ALL THE WORLD IS BRIGHT SINCE I GOT RIGHT
NOW I SING AND PRAY AND SHOUT;
ALL MY BURDENS HAVE BEEN LIFTED SINCE THE SAVIOR 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.

Verse-1:
I STARTED A JOURNEY MANY YEARS AGO
LOOKING FOR REST AND PEACE FOR MY SOUL.
I FOUND IT AT CALVARY AND TRULY I SAY
IT SATISFIED THEN AND GETS BETTER EACH DAY.

Chorus:
I THINK I’LL JUST GO WITH GOD (WITH GOD)
FOR LOOKING BACK MY WAY I DON’T SEE A LOT.
WITH HIM THERE IS JOY (WITH HIM THERE IS JOY)
AND BLESSINGS UNTOLD (GREAT BLESSINGS UNTOLD)
SO I THINK I’LL JUST GO WITH GOD (I’LL GO WITH GOD.)

Verse-2:
MY ROAD WAS LITTERED WITH SIN AND DESPAIR
BUT GOD’S WAY IS FILLED WITH SWEET TENDER CARE.
I’VE FOUND HIM A FAITHFUL COMPASSIONATE FRIEND.
SO MY COURSE IS SET, I’M GONNA FINISH WITH HIM.

Verse-1:
LAZARUS WAS DEAD HE HAD BEEN THREE DAYS IN THE GRAVE.
IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE IF HE WERE TO BE SAVED.
JESUS CALLED HIS NAME AND WHEN OLD LAZARUS CAME FORTH,
IT PROVED ONCE AGAIN THAT WE CAN ALWAYS TRUST THE LORD.

Chorus:
HE KNOWS (HE KNOWS) JUST WHAT I NEED BEFORE I KNOW TO ASK.
HE KNOWS (HE KNOWS) HIS PLANS FOR ME AND HOW THEY’LL COME TO PASS.
HE KNOWS MY EVERY STEP THE DOORS HE’LL OPEN AND HE’LL CLOSE;
SO EVERY DAY I JUST OBEY AND SAY MY FATHER KNOWS.

Verse-2:
TRUSTING JUST LIKE PAUL THAT GOD WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN.
SINGING SONGS THROUGH PRISON BARS ABOUT THIS JOY I’VE FOUND.
KEEPING ON, JUST KEEPING ON, THAT’S WHAT HIS CHILDREN DO;
GIVING ALL MY BURDENS TO THE LORD BECAUSE IT’S TRUE.

Verse-1:
I STOOD AT THE BEDSIDE OF MY PRECIOUS LOVED ONE.
I COULD FEEL THE COLD HAND OF DEATH ALL AROUND.
AS DEATH’S ANGEL CAME CLOSER I COULD HEAR MY LOVED ONE WHISPER,
IN THE MORNING, I’LL BE WEARING MY CROWN.

Chorus:
IN THE MORNING, I’LL WALK BY THE RIVER.
I WILL LAY THESE OLD BURDENS DOWN.
IN THE MORNING, I’LL BE WALKING WITH JESUS HAND IN HAND.
I WILL TRADE THIS OLD CROSS FOR A CROWN.

Verse-2:
I’VE BEEN WALKING WITH JESUS FOR SO MANY YEARS NOW.
I’VE WONDERED WILL I EVER GET TO SEE HEAVEN’S SHORE.
FOR MY SOUL IS NOW LONGING FOR HEAVEN’S BRIGHT CITY
WHERE DEATH WILL NOT MATTER ANYMORE.

Verse-1:
JESUS IS THE PROMISED SAVIOUR FROM THE TESTAMENT OF OLD;
THE CHOSEN ONE, THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB.
WE NEED NOT LOOK FOR ANOTHER FOR ONE BRIGHT AND GLORIOUS MORN;
HE AROSE THE REDEEMER OF MAN.

Chorus:
THERE IS (THERE IS) NO OTHER SAVIOUR.
HE DIED (HE DIED) AND SETTLED IT ALL.
WHEN HE ROSE (HE AROSE) IT LEFT NO QUESTION
JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD.

Verse-2:
WHO BUT HE COULD LOVE THE SINNER WITH A LOVE SO UNDESERVED
WHO BUT JESUS EVER HEALED THE BLIND AND LAME.
NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN BURIED IN THE DARKNESS OF THE EARTH
AND IN THREE DAYS RISE AGAIN.

Verse-1:
A VESSEL OF HONOR I’M LONGING TO BE
AS CLAY TO THE POTTER MAY I BE TO THEE.
YOU MAY HAVE TO BREAK DOWN RESISTANCE AT TIMES
BUT LORD DON’T STOP MOLDING AND SHAPING MY LIFE.

Chorus:
SHAPE ME, DEAR FATHER, PLEASE MAKE ME LIKE YOU.
MOLD ME COMPLETELY SO I CAN BE TRUE.
BUT IF YOU HAVE TO BREAK ME, MAY I UNDERSTAND
YOU’RE STILL LOVING AND HOLDING MY LIFE IN YOUR HANDS.

Verse-2:
IT WOULD BE SUCH A DISSERVICE RESULTS WOULD BE NIL.
IF CLAY REJECTS POTTER AND SEEKS ITS OWN WILL.
IT COULD ONLY BE CAST OUT TO THE OLD POTTER’S FIELD.
PLEASE DON’T CAST ME OUT MASTER PUT ME BACK ON YOUR WHEEL.

Verse-1:
THE BIBLE TELLS THE STORY OF HOW OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED;
HOW NAILS PIERCED HIS HANDS AND FEET AND BLOOD FLOWED FROM HIS SIDE.
BUT ON THE THIRD APPOINTED DAY HE AROSE TO LIVE AGAIN.
MY EYES DID NOT BEHOLD HIM BUT TO HEAVEN HE DID ASCEND.

Chorus:
I MAY NEVER WALK UP CALVARY’S HILL BUT I KNOW THAT’S WHERE HE DIED;
I MAY NEVER SEE THAT EMPTY TOMB BUT I KNOW HE IS ALIVE.
THOUGH I’VE NEVER SEEN HIM FACE TO FACE AN INVITATION HE DID GIVE.
I MAY NEVER VISIT WHERE HE DIED, BUT I’M GOING WHERE HE LIVES.

Verse-2:
NOW HE’S SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF HIS FATHER’S THRONE.
HE SAID HE’D GO TO PREPARE A PLACE I WOULD CALL HOME.
THEN HE PROMISED HE WOULD NOT LEAVE ME HERE; HE’LL BE BACK IN A LITTLE WHILE.
THEN I’LL BE GOING WHERE HE LIVES BECAUSE OF WHERE HE DIED.

Verse-1:
I’VE BEEN IN VALLEYS; THEY WERE SO LOW.
I’VE BEEN ON MOUNTAINS; THEY WERE SO TALL.
I’VE HAD MY ROSES ALONG LIFE’S WAY.
MY GOD, HE KNOWS WHAT I NEED WHEN I PRAY.

Chorus:
HE MAKES ME SMILE THROUGH ALL OF TEARS.
AND HE MAKES ME STRONG THROUGH ALL OF MY FEARS.
HE GIVES ME STRENGTH WHEN I AM SO WEAK.
YES, MY GOD, HE KNOWS JUST WHAT I NEED.

Verse-2:
HE’S TRAVELED WITH ME EVERY MILE.
HE’S ALWAYS NEAR ME IN EVERY TRIAL.
HE IS MY LIGHTHOUSE IN THE TIME OF A STORM.
ONE DAY I’LL SEE HIM IN MY NEW HOME.

Chorus:
GOD TOLD ME TO WALK A LITTLE FARTHER
CANAANLAND IS JUST IN SIGHT.
HE TOLD ME TO KEEP ON PRESSING;
DON’T WAVER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT.
THERE’S A CLOUD BY DAY TO GUIDE YOU
AND A PILLAR OF FIRE BY NIGHT.
GOD TOLD ME TO WALK A LITTLE FARTHER
CANAANLAND IS JUST IN SIGHT.

Verse-1:
WHEN JOSHUA AND CALEB WENT TO VIEW THE PROMISELAND
THEY SAW THE GRAPES WERE PLENTIFUL SO THEY FOLLOWED GOD’S COMMAND.
THERE WAS MILK AND HONEY FLOWING AND THE LORD WAS BY THEIR SIDE.
GOD TOLD THEM TO WALK A LITTLE FARTHER
CANAANLAND IS JUST IN SIGHT.

Verse-2:
I’M GOING TO THE CAMP OF THE ENEMY
AND TAKE WHAT BELONGS TO ME.
I’M PULLING DOWN THE STRONGHOLDS
AND THE ENEMY HAS TO FLEE.
WELL, GOD SAID HE’D GO BEFORE ME;
EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
GOD TOLD ME TO WALK A LITTLE FARTHER
CANAANLAND IS JUST IN SIGHT.

Verse-1:
I’VE HAD BAD DAYS AND I’VE HAD HILLS TO CLIMB.
AND I’VE HAD SAD DAYS AND OFTEN A WEARY MIND.
BUT WHEN I LOOK ABOUT AND THINK THESE THINGS ALL OUT.
ALL OF THE GOOD DAYS OUTWEIGH THE BAD DAYS,
I CAN’T COMPLAIN.

Chorus:
GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME; HE IS SO GOOD TO ME.
MORE THAN THIS WORLD COULD BE; HE’S SO GOOD TO ME.
HIS SPIRIT CAME TO ME AND GAVE ME VICTORY.
GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME; I CAN’T COMPLAIN.

2nd verse:
SOMETIMES THE CLOUDS HANG LOW AND I’D LIKE TO SEE THEM GO.
AND SOMETIMES I QUESTION LORD WHY SO MUCH PAIN.
BUT HE KNOWS WHAT’S BEST FOR ME ALTHOUGH I CANNOT SEE.
I’LL LOOK UP AND SAY THANK YOU LORD, I CAN’T COMPLAIN.
