The Old-Fashioned Way

They call me old-fa­shioned be­cause I be­lieve

That the Bi­ble is God’s ho­ly Word

That Je­sus

who lived among men long ago

Is divine

and the Christ of God.

My sin was old-fa­shioned

My guilt was old-fa­shioned

God’s love was old-fa­shioned

I know;

And the way I was saved was the old-fa­shioned way

Through the blood that makes whit­er than snow.

Old-fashioned

be­cause I be­lieve and ac­cept

Only what has been spok­en from Heav’n;

Old-fashioned be­cause at the cross I was saved

At the cross had my sins for­giv’n.

Old-fashioned

be­cause I am bound to do right

To walk in the straight nar­row way;

Because I have giv­en my whole life to God

Old-fashioned be­cause I pray.

Old-fashioned

be­cause I am look­ing ab­ove

To Je­sus

my glo­ri­fied Lord;

Because I be­lieve He is com­ing again

Fulfilling His ho­ly Word.
