I remember long ago
Back when I was just a child
How the songs we used to sing
Fashioned in camp meeting style
Songs that kept the fire burning
And wouldn't let it die
Songs that spoke of living
On the Hallelujah side

Now the ones we used to love to hear
Sing songs like that are gone
I close my eyes, my mind goes back
The memories linger on
How they spend too many hours
On their knees for the lost
Those dear old gray-haired warriors
Truly soldiers of the cross

I still recall camp meeting days
All the preaching, testifying
The shouting and the praise
And someday soon we'll meet again
To have the best camp meeting
That's ever been

I still recall camp meeting days
All the preaching, testifying
The shouting and the praise
And someday soon we'll meet again
To have the best camp meeting
That's ever been
I still recall camp meeting days
All the preaching, testifying
The shouting and the praise
And someday soon we'll meet again
We'll have the best camp meeting
That's ever been
