I'm So Glad I Got My 'Ligion In Time

I'm so glad I got my 'ligion in time, (3 times)
O my Lord, O my Lord, what shall I do to be saved?

Soon one mornin', death come creepin' in the room, etc.

Death done been here, took my mother and gone, etc.

Death* been here, left me a motherless child, etc.

I'm so glad I come when I was called, etc.

Dock Reed, Livingston, AL. *Death drawn out in this verse.
