TAKE ME BACK TO THE DAYS OF OLD
PATHS THAT TAUGHT LIFE
Take me back to
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 cook;
Dads would work;
Children would
behave...
Husbands were
loving; Wives were supportive; and children were polite.
Women wore the
dresses; and Men wore the trousers.
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.
Cursing was
wicked; Drinking was evil; and divorce was unthinkable.
We read the Bible
in public; Prayed in school;
And preached from
house to house.
To be called a
Christian was worth living for;
To be called a
traitor was a shame!
Sex was a personal
word. Homosexual was an unheard of word, And abortion was an illegal word.
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;
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.
Church was where
you found Christians on the Lord's day, rather than in the park,
on the creek bank,
on the golf course, or being entertained somewhere else.
Give me that old
time religion!
'Tis good enough
for me!
I still like the "Old Paths" best!
Jeremiah 6:16.
