Refrain: I never lov’d Him better than today, I love the good old straight and narrow way; And glory fills my soul, Since Jesus made me whole, I never lov’d Him better than today. 2 I’ve left the paths of sin, The world and all its charm, And now I’m on the good old-fashioned way; I’ve peace and joy within; I’m safe from all alarm, I never lov’d Him better than today. [Refrain] 3 I’ll serve Him here below, Thro’ all life’s fleeting years, For soon the Lord will come in bright array; But this one thing I know, That fills my heart with cheer, I never lov’d Him better than today.
