How I like the old time preachin` prayin` singin` shoutin`
How I like the old time readin` of God`s words
How I like to hear that old time hallelujah glory
How I like the old time worship of the Lord
Long ago when just a child at old camp meetin` time
How my heart would beat with joy to hear the old bells chime
Callin` all the saints of God onto the house of prayer
Oh such prayin` singin` shoutin` for the Lord was there
How I like the old time preachin`...

Preachin` in them good ole days was still the world acclaim
Preachin` for the souls of men and not for wordly fame
Under such old fashion preachin` sinners knelt and pray
And the Lord would save them in that good ole fashion way
How I like the old time preachin`...
