I Was Glad (feat. Lindell Cooley)

Oo. Here we go!

I once was so lost and uncertain,

A slave to the pow'r of this world.

Then Jesus broke off every shackle and chain,

Now I'm bound for the House of the Lord!

I was glad when they said unto me, (yeah)

"Let us go to the house of the Living God!"

When I remember those dark days,

What thankfulness flows from my soul!

That Jesus would come and deliver this heart

To dwell (oo) in His Heavenly courts!

"Aight Pastor, you got a word for us?"

"David said, I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to live in the house of kings. I don't know 'bout you but I would rather be a keeper of his presence than to live in the finest house this world has to offer, 'cause there's nothin' like His house, because there's joy for your soul (yeah) in the house of the Lord. There's freedom for everything that's holdin' ya back right now in the house of the Lord. And if your body is racked with pain, there's healin'!
