a Timeless Classic

\nThis is a traditional Gospel song dating from 1873, when it was included in a list of Jubilee songs. It has become a standard in many Protestant hymnals, though it says nothing about Jesus or the gospel.
\nIncludes alternate lyrics<\/p>\n
Give me that old time religion
\nGive me that old time religion
\nGive me that old time religion
\nIt’s good enough for me<\/p>\n
It was good for the Hebrew children (repeat)
\nIt’s good enough for me<\/p>\n
It was good for our fathers (repeat)
\nIt’s good enough for me<\/p>\n
It will take us all to Heaven (repeat)
\nIt’s good enough for me<\/p>\n
–<\/p>\n
Let us worship Zarathustra
\nJust the way we used to
\nI’m a Zarathustra booster
\nHe’s good enough for me<\/p>\n
Let us worship Aphrodite
\nShe’s beautiful but flighty
\nShe doesn’t wear a nightie
\nBut she’s good enough for me<\/p>\n
