“If You’re Talking About That Old Time Religion” Live @ 13th Street Church of God
Lyrics:
Everybody is talking about something
You can hear as the crowd passes by,
Some are talking about their wealth and their mansions,
While others talk of their troubles and strife.
Well, I don’t know how to talk to a rich man,
When compared, I’m a beggar, no doubt.
But if you’re talking about that old time religion
Then I know what you’re talking about.
If you’re talking about the old time religion,
Then I know what you’re talking about.
About the kind that will make you love your neighbor,
When old Satan will say, “Turn him out.”
About the kind that will comfort you in sorrow,
And it never fails to make you shout.
Well, if you’re talking about that old time religion,
Then I know what you’re talking about.
I like to talk about the day when Jesus saved me
When my poor soul was sinking in sin.
I like to talk about the way He has kept me
Through the shadows, the storms, and the rain.
I like to talk about the day of his coming
When I see His sweet face in the clouds.
Well, if you’re talking about that old time religion
Then I know what you’re talking about.
