Lyrics

Verse 1:
Men have turned today; From the old-fashioned way
They’re no longer preaching the cross
They find it offensive; so they preach it pensive
Not wanting to upset the lost
We need to compel them; But friend we must tell them
Only his blood can wash away sin
Not motivational speaking; But old fashioned preaching
Will cause; the lost to repent
Chorus:
It’s the Old Gospel Story; It’s the anthem of glory
A sinner was lost; And now he’s been found
It’s not a new age revision; But it’s the old time religion
It’s the Old Gospel Story; No way but the Cross
Verse:
You pay for analysis; until your psychiatrist
Can buy a brite-shiny-new Mercedes Benz
This worlds philosophies; their feel good recipes
Can’t loose a heart bound by chains of sin
You need a Saviour to change your behavior
And regenerate a new man set free
Not a 12 step resolution; But a bible solution
Just one step to the Old Rugged Tree
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
It’s not a new age revision; But it’s the old time religion
It’s the Old Gospel Story; No way but the Cross
No way but the Cross

The Old Gospel Story
