OH GLORY, HOW HAPPY I AM
Reverend Gary Davis

When I was out in the world of sin,
I had no one to call my friend,
Jesus came and let me in.
Glory, Hallelu..
He took my feet out from the mire'y clay,
Put them back on the rock to stay.
I'm so happy I can say, Glory, Hallelu..

CHO:
Oh, Glory how happy I am,
Oh, Glory how happy I am,
My soul's been washed in the blood of the lamb.
Glory, Hallelu..

Now when I had no home to claim,
I began to call on Jesus's name,
To save my soul from sin and shame.
Glory, Hallelu..
Stand back Satan get out of my way,
I don't want to hear another word you say.
I'm on my way to the King's Highway.
Glory, Hallelu.. CHO:

One day when Jesus was passing by,
He set my sinful soul on fire.
Made me laugh, made me cry.
Glory, Hallelu..
I'm finally baptized in the Holy Ghost still.
Out here to do my Master's will.
I must keep goin' I can't keep still.
Glory, Hallelu.. CHO:

He took me in through his open door.
Said, "Go your way and sin no more."
I'm on my way to the upper bright shore.
Glory, hallelu.. CHO:

I copied these down from Andy Cohen's CD entitled "Oh Glory, How Happy I Am". The "baptized" verse is unclear to me, so there may be some errors there.

Enjoy the music.
