1 It’s a grand thing to be a Christian,
It’s a grand thing to be a Christian,
It’s a grand thing to be a Christian,
I won’t turn back, Lord,
I won’t turn back.

2 Take this old world but give me Jesus,
Take this old world but give me Jesus,
Take this old world but give me Jesus,
I won’t turn back, Lord,
I won’t turn back.

3 I am feasting on milk and honey,
I am feasting on milk and honey,
I am feasting on milk and honey,
It satisfies, Lord,
It satisfies.
