I have different words for this one. It was not credited in my source. I learned it about 20 years ago.

S-A-V-E-D

         It's G L O R Y to know I'm S A V E D

Some folks jump up and down all night and D A N C E.
While others go to church to wear their brand new H A T.
And on their face the wear great globs of P A I N T.
And then they have the brass to say they're S A V E D.

Cho.
It's G L O R Y to know I'm S A V E D.
I'm H A P P Y because I'm F R double E.
I once was B O U N D with the chains of S I N.
But it's V I C T O R Y to know I've Christ within.

I've seen some girls in our town who are so N I C E.
They wear their hair in the latest style that's B O B E D. (sic)
They go to parties every night drink W I N E.
And then they have the nerve to say they're S A V E D.

I've seen some boys lean back and puff their S M O K E.
While others chew and spit out all their J U I C E.
They play their cards they shoot their dice and drink thier P O P.
And then they'll have the brass to say they're S A V E D.

I know a man I think his name is B R O W N.
He prays for prohibition and he works for G I N.
He helps to put the poison in his neighbours C U P.
And then he'll have the brass to say he's S A V E D.

I will try to find my source. If someone doesn't come up with it beforehand.
