Crime did… Take me back to the old Paths When Moms were at home, dads were at work. Brothers went into the army. And sisters got married BEFORE having children! Crime did not pay; Hard work did; And people knew the difference.   Moms could cook; Dads would work; Children would behave. Husbands were loving; Wives were supportive, and children were polite.   Women wore dresses, and Men wore trousers. Women looked like ladies; Men looked like gentlemen; and children looked decent.   People loved the truth, and hated a lie; They came to church to get IN, not to get OUT!   Hymns sounded godly; sermons sounded helpful; Rejoicing sounded normal; and crying sounded sincere. Cursing was wicked; drinking was evil, and divorce was unthinkable.   We read the Bible in public; prayed in school; And preached from house to house. To be called a Christian was worth living for; To be called a traitor was a shame!   Sex was a personal word. Homosexual was an unheard-of word, And abortion was an illegal word.   Preachers preached because they had a message; and Christians rejoiced because they had the victory!
