Thank you so much for your help

When Moses and the Israelites from Egypt's land did flee
Behind them, were proud Pharaoh's host, in front of them the sea.
God raised the water like a wall, He opened up the way,
And the God that lived in Moses' time is just the same today.

In this old time religion it's good enough for me
It makes me happy when I'm alone and happiness you see
It makes me leap and jump and shout and fill my heart with joy
And there's a time you have there when you come down to die

When Daniel, faithful to his God, would not bow down to men,
And by his enemy he was hurled into the lion's den,
God locked the lion's jaw, we read, and robbed him of his prey,
And the God that lived in Daniel's time is just the same today.

Oh in this old time religion is good enough for me
It makes me happy when I'm alone and (????????)
It makes me leap and jump and shout and it fills my heart with joy
And there's a time you have there when you come down to die

And when the rich man came to die it was the same today

Oh in this old time religion it's good enough for me
It makes me happy when I'm alone and (????)
It makes me leap and jump and shout and fills my heart with joy
And there's a time you have there when you come down to die

When Pentecost had fully come and fire from Heaven did fall,
And like a holly ghost God's wind, baptized them one and all.
Three thousand were converted it makes soldiers right away,
And the God that lived in Pentecost is just the same today.

In this old time religion is good enough for me
It makes me happy when I'm at home and (????)
It makes me leap and jump and shout and fills my heart with joy
Oh there's a time you have there when you come down to die
