The Old Fashioned Way
Words - Civilla D Martin
Music - W Stillman Martin
1. They call me old-fashioned because I believe
That the Bible is God’s holy Word,
That Jesus, who lived among men long ago,
Is divine, and the Christ of God.
That the Bible is God’s holy Word,
That Jesus, who lived among men long ago,
Is divine, and the Christ of God.
2. Old-fashioned, because I believe and accept
Only what has been spoken from Heav’n;
Old-fashioned because at the cross I was saved,
At the cross had my sins forgiv’n.
Old-fashioned because at the cross I was saved,
At the cross had my sins forgiv’n.
3. Old-fashioned, because I am bound to do right,
To walk in the straight narrow way;
Because I have given my whole life to God,
Old-fashioned because I pray.
To walk in the straight narrow way;
Because I have given my whole life to God,
Old-fashioned because I pray.
4. Old-fashioned, because I am looking above
To Jesus, my glorified Lord;
Because I believe He is coming again,
Fulfilling His holy Word.
Because I believe He is coming again,
Fulfilling His holy Word.
Refrain
My sin was old-fashioned,
My guilt was old-fashioned,
God’s love was old-fashioned, I know;
And the way I was saved was the old-fashioned way,
Through the blood that makes whiter than snow.
My guilt was old-fashioned,
God’s love was old-fashioned, I know;
And the way I was saved was the old-fashioned way,
Through the blood that makes whiter than snow.

I took these pictures the other day of a big old tree out back our house.
A blessed Sunday to all.

That’s a great old-fashioned song and brand new to me. That tree has a lot of character!
Nice hymn. I feel like an old-fashioned guy most of the time. I'm sure that younger people would consider me so.
Call me old fashioned too! I wish the world was more old fashioned.
Have a great new week my friend.
Hi Karen- I admire the Old Tree...it reminds me of the Mythical 'Ents'.
A beautiful old tree.
Have a wonderful day.
Love the old fashioned hymn and that old tree, too.
