Heaven Is My Goal from Every Day

Give me that old time religion The one that has conviction The same kind that the old timers had The kind when they sang they shouted When they prayed, nobody doubted The same kind that was lived by my mom and dad Give me that old time salvation From Genesis to Revelation That'll save you out of a dying world that's lost I want the kind I can not only live by But the kind I can also die by The pure kind that was paid for on the cross At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light Was the song they were singing when I knelt at the alter that night I stayed and I prayed until the spirit filled my soul I have the old time religion, now heaven is my goal Give me that old time religion, they began to sing It was good enough for my mom and dad and it was good enough for me They made a joyful noise, clapped their hands and raised their voice When the old time preacher began to preach He read from the word, he told us, "return to the path he showed us" And you shall find rest for your soul To walk therein is a good way, it will lead you to the straight gate And you shall live while the ages roll Repeat Chorus (2)
