Old Paths

I liked the old paths, when

Moms were at home.

Dads were at work.

Brothers went into the army.

And sisters got married BEFORE having children!


Crime did not pay;

Hard work did;

And people knew the difference.


Moms could and would cook;

Dads would and could work;

Children would behave.


Husbands were loving;

Wives were supportive;

And children were polite.


Women wore the jewelry;

Women looked like ladies;

Men looked like gentlemen;

And children looked decent.


People loved the truth,

And hated a lie;

They came to church to get IN,

Not to get OUT!


Hymns sounded Godly;

Sermons sounded helpful;

Rejoicing sounded normal;

And crying sounded sincere.



The flag was honored;

America was beautiful;

And God was welcome!


We read the Bible in public;

Prayed in school;

And preached from house to house

To be called an American was worth dying for;

To be called a Christian was worth living for;

To be called a traitor was a shame!



Preachers preached because they had a message;

And Christians rejoiced because they had the VICTORY!

Preachers preached from the Bible;

Singers sang from the heart;


And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED!

A new birth meant a new life;

Salvation meant a changed life;

Following Christ led to eternal life.


Being a preacher meant you proclaimed the word of God;

Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord;

Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus;

And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you!


Laws were based on the Bible;

Homes read the Bible;

And churches taught the Bible.


Preachers were more interested in new converts,

Than new clothes and new cars.

God was worshiped;

Christ was exalted;

and the Holy Spirit was respected.


Church was where you found Christians on the Lord's Day,

I still like the old paths the best.
even in blue-jeans, I still like the old paths
