Edgar Guest - The Don’t BelieversEdgar Guest - The Don’t Believers
Work rating: Low


The new - fangled churches that don`t believe I things Aren`t the churches that satisfy me; I `m firm in my notion that angels wear wings, An` Heaven is a place we shall see, I `m an old-fashioned man, full of old-fashioned ways, An` these up-to-date doubtings seem odd; What they don`t believe folks talk about nowadays, But I `m still believing in God. Some don`t believe this, an` some don`t believe that, Some don`t believe Heaven is a place; The don`t believe sermons they `re preaching are flat, For of old-fashioned faith there`s no trace. They`ve torn up the Bible an` proved it`s not so, They doubt man was made from a clod, What they don`t believe seems to be all that they know, But I `m still believing in God. There isn`t much left of religion today, The thinkers have busily swept Most all of the faiths that we once had away, An` few of us know what they`ve kept. It`s " don`t believe this " an` " don`t believe that," An` blinded they `d leave us to plod; An` old-fashioned man hardly knows where he`s at, But I `m still believing in God. What men don`t believe doesn`t interest me, I `d far rather learn what they do; I believe in the green of the grass an` the tree, I believe in the sunshine an` dew; I believe in the love that makes living worth while, I believe we shall rise from the sod To a mansion in Heaven where our dear ones shall smile, An` I `m still believing in God.
