(Martha Carson)

I've got that old time religion, got that old time religion
At his side 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
At his side 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
At his side I'm satisfied...
