The Old Time Religion

Today we are told that if something's old
        It needs to be replaced.
Only something will do if it is brand new,
        The old has now been displaced.

Religion, they say, if it belongs to today
        Must be measured by a new gage.
So proudly they boast that from coast to coast
        The in thing is called the "New Age."

Between me and you, there is nothing new
        About this New Age preaching.
They feel free as a bird while rejecting God's Word
        And this is what they are teaching:

Since God is not there they do not have prayer
        For they think that everything is God.
They take their medication and practice meditation
        Worshiping the Tree and the Cod.

Sin, they proudly say, is something that's passe
        And death is never really ever final.
Reincarnation is the thing and it has a lovely ring
        (As they replace their leather with some vinyl.)

But when they are alone with no one to atone
        For all of the times they have sinned,
As their path leads to the grave with no one there to save
        Then death must be faced without a friend.

The Bible may be old and doctrine may seem cold
        But they tell of God's great intervention.
The peace that it will give for as long as one may live
        Cannot be replaced by any new invention.
