"I'd Rather Be An Old Time Christian" is a song from years past by The Atkins Family.

 

The Atkins Family has been singing for a long time and has journeyed many a miles across the country for our Lord. Don Atkins had a God fearing praying mother that wanted nothing more than her boys to be saved and doing some kind of work for the Lord. Well, in 1971 Don started his work for the Lord. He had four children of his own traveling, singing, and playing instruments every chance they had. Many has come and gone as the group continued and as they go into there 4th generation of singers and musicians, the legacy and calling continues.
