I won’t go to a burnin hell
If I believe in what the bible tells
I’ll conquer that old devil if I pray
He offers just brimstone and fire
A lowdown thief a cheater and a liar
But the Lord will give you love and treat you well
There’s too many miles on me
To change my ways I cannot see
Before I die it can’t be far away
I believe in the God that never fails
Delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale
Give me that old time religion that’s for me
I have a promise from God above
The one who gave me this book of love
Says he’ll never leave me or forsake me
And when the devil’s at my back door
I’ll raise my hand and kneel on the floor
I pray that the Lord will lead me through
