<TITLE>16. Par 49-51</TITLE>L-49 Oh, don't you love Him? [Congregation worships--Ed.] While we sing that again, let's shake hands with somebody around you, Methodists and Baptists... Just... You know, this old-time religion will make a silk dress and a calico put their arms around one another and call one another "sister." It'll make a tuxedo suit and a pair of overalls call one another "brother."
 Oh, that's what's the matter with me (Turn around and shake hands with somebody),
 Oh, that's what's the matter with me;
 I'm filled with the Spirit, there isn't a doubt,
 And that's what's the matter with me.
Hallelujah. I feel like singing a song. That be all right? All right.
 It's the old-time Holy Spirit,
 And the devil won't get near It.
 That's the reason people fear It;
 But It's good enough for me.
 It's the old-time religion,
 It's the old-time religion,
 It's the old-time religion,
 It's good enough for me.
 It will do when I am dying,
 It will make you stop your lying.
 It will start the devil flying;
 And it's good enough for me.
 Give me this old-time religion,
 Give me this old-time religion,
 Give me this old-time religion,
 It's good enough for me.
 It's so good I want no other,
 For it makes me love my brother.
 It brings things from under cover;
 And It's good enough for me.
 Oh, give me this old-time religion,
 Give me this old-time religion,
 Give me this old-time religion,
 It's good enough for me. (All of us can sing it like...)
 It was good for Paul and Silas,
 It was good for Paul and Silas,
 It was good for Paul and Silas,
 And It's good enough for me.
 It's the old-time religion,
 Got that old-time religion.
 Got that old-time religion,
 It's good enough for me.

L-50 Amen. All that's got that old-time religion... Now, let's just raise our hands and say:
 I got that old-time religion,
 Got that old-time religion,
 Got that old-time religion,
 It's good enough for me.
Amen. A few minutes ago sinners that set right here, and had their hands up singing, "I got the old-time religion." Amen. Sure, it starts the devil flying. That's what it does. Makes you love everybody, makes you--makes you love the Lord, makes you love your enemy, makes you love everybody, and it's good enough for me. It was good for Paul and Silas. It was good for the Hebrew children. It's good for pop and mom, good enough for me. Amen. Yes, sir.
"The Old Ship of Zion," you know that song? You know it? Let's sing it.
 It's the old ship of Zion,
 It's the old ship of Zion,
 It's the old ship of Zion,
 Get on board, get on board.
 It has landed my old father,
 It has landed my old father,
 It has landed my old father,
 Get on board, get on board.

L-51 Oh, I love them old-time songs. I'm just old fashion. And I... raised on corn bread and black-eyed peas and used to sop the kettle and mom would make a pie or...?... you know, and sop the icing. And, you--you know us kid would get in our hair and on the eyebrows and everything else, but you know what I think tonight? The Christians need a good old kettle sopping time. Just get it into your eyebrows and all over you. Amen. Right. I feel religious. I really do. Just feel good in my heart to be assembled with such a group of people, heaven-bound, going to Glory. All right.
