I know that modern religion says
Live anyway that you choose
But that kind of religion
The Lord will surely refuse
What used to be sin
It's still sin today
They need a brand new experience
The old time way

I've had a brand new experience
The old-time way
All my dark sin-filled nights
They're all sunshiny days
I'm still the same person
In much the same way
Except for my new experience
I got the old-timе way

I don't hang with the same crowd
That I did while in sin
No, I don't talk thе same talk
Since Jesus came in
But that's the way daddy told me
While I was still on his knee
I found out for myself
When the Holy Ghost found me
I've had a brand new experience
The old-time way
All my dark sin-filled nights
They're all sunshiny days
I'm still the same person
In much the same way
Except for my new experience
The old-time way
I've had a brand new experience
The old-time way
