Old Time Camp Meeting

Long ago when but a boy at old camp meeting time

How my heart would leap for joy to hear the old bells chime

Calling all the saints of God into the house of prayer

Oh such praying singing and shouting for the Lord was there

I like the old time preaching praying singing shouting

I like the old time reading of God’s word

I like to hear those old time Hallelujah stories

I like the old time worship of the Lord

Preaching in those good old days were filled with a holy flame

Preaching for the souls of men and not for worldly fame

Under such old fashion preaching sinner fell to pray

And the Lord would save them in that good old fashion way

I like the old time preaching praying singing shouting

I like the old time reading of God’s word

I like to hear those old time Hallelujah stories

I like the old time worship of the Lord

In these latter days they say that there is no use to pray

All we need is to think religion ’tis a better way

But I’m here to tell you brother Jesus saves from sin

In that old time way He saved me He now dwells within

I like the old time preaching praying singing shouting

I like the old time reading of God’s word

I like to hear those old time Hallelujah stories

I like the old time worship of the Lord
