I've got that old time religion,
You may ask me if I'm happy
Chorus:
Now if my friends they all forsake me
Chorus:
got that old time religion
That is why I'm satisfied.
if I have peace within
If I'm worried about tomorrow
when I reach my journey's end
Well I'm satisfied with my Jesus
when He knocks I'll let Him in
He'll go with me through the valley
for I know He is my friend.
Satisfied, satisfied,
no trouble can ever get me down
For when my eyes have closed in death
With my Jesus I'll be at rest
Then you'll know I'm satisfied
I've got that old time religion,
got that old time religion
That is why I'm satisfied.
and they turn me from their door
If they sow no seeds of kindness
make the thorn in my path grow
It won't matter over yonder
when I reach that other side
For I'm going to sit down my Jesus
And then you'll know I'm satisfied.
