Song: Oh Glory How Happy I Am
Artist: Rev. Gary Davis
Oh, when I was out in the world of sin
G*
I had no one to be my friend
Jesus came and he taken me in
Glory, hallelu
G* C*
And he taken my feet out the miry clay
He placed them up on a rock to stay
I thank God that I can say
Glory, hallelu
Chorus: 2x
G* C*
O, Glory how happy I am
O, Glory how happy I am
My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb
Glory, hallelu
I was out in darkness and I could not see
G*
Jesus came and he rescued me
He claimed me and gave me a victory
Glory, hallelu
G* C*
And one day while Jesus was passing by
He set my sinful soul on fire
He made me laugh and he made me cry
Glory, hallelu
(Repeat Chorus)
When I could not understand
G*
Jesus, he give me a lending hand
Led me away to the promised land
Glory, hallelu
G* C*
Oh, well he give me a horn and he told me to blow
Go in peace and sin no more
He led me away to the upright shore
Glory, hallelu
(Repeat Chorus)
I know something that's mighty swell
G*
A sweet little story I love to tell
Jesus saved my soul from Hell
Glory, hallelu
G* C*
Oh, stand back Satan, get out of my way
I don't want to hear not a word you say
I'm on my way to the King's highway
Glory, hallelu
G* C*
Well thank God I got over at last
Thank God I got over at last
My feet is planted in the narrow path
Glory, hallel
(Repeat Chorus)
When I had no home to claim
G*
I begin to call on Jesus' name
He saved me from old Satan's chains
Glory, hallel
G* C*
Now I'm fire-baptized and holy ghost-filled
I'm out here to do my master's will
I must keep going, I can't be still
Glory, hallel
(Repeat Chorus)
