I've got that old time religion, got that old time religion
That is why I'm satisfied

You ask me if I'm happy if I have peace within
If I'm worried bout tomorrow when I reach my journey's end
Well, I'm satisfied with my Jesus when he knocks I let him in
He'll go with me through the valley for I know he is my friend

Satisfied, satisfied
No troubles can ever get me down
For when my eyes are closed in death
With my Jesus I'll be at rest
Then you'll know I'm satisfied

I've got that old time religion, got that old time religion
That is why I'm satisfied

If my friends they all forsake me and they turn me from their door
If they sow no seeds of kindness make the thorns in my path grow
Oh, it don't matter over yonder when I reach that other side
For I'm gonna sit down by my Jesus satisfied, I'm satisfied

Satisfied, satisfied
No troubles can ever get me down
For when my eyes are closed in death
With my Jesus I'll be at rest
Then you'll know I'm satisfied

I've got that old time religion, got that old time religion
That is why I'm satisfied
