I'm So Very Glad Copyright 2004 Ron Barnes I'm so glad that Jesus came to me. And I'm so very glad that He came to set me free From all my worries and my cares. I see His blessings everywhere And that's why I'm so very glad. Every day, He is always there for me. And I pray that He will always be The One who fills me with delight And leads me with His guiding light And makes me feel so very glad. I was lost. I was tossed. Didn't know which way to go. Till He came, called my name And He taught me what I had to know. Now I've found solid ground And a joy I never had. And that's why I'm so very glad. I don't care what the world may think of me. He is always there even though they may not see. I see His face and hear His voice. I have to stand up and rejoice  Because I feel so very glad. There's a home that is waiting there for me. He's sitting on the throne of grace and victory. And I am walking free of sin To a place where I can be with Him And that's why I'm so very glad. INSTRUMENTAL I am whole. And my soul is safe from Satan's touch. He's my shield and I feel That my Father loves me much too much To let me ever be feeling lost, alone or sad. And that's why I'm so very glad. I'm so very glad that my name is in His book. And I'm so very glad for the road that I took That leads me to an open gate. That's why I never hesitate To say that I'm so very glad. I'm so very glad to be one of His own. And I have never had more love than He has shown. He took my place at Calvary And gladly paid the price for me And that's why I'm so very glad. He took my place at Calvary And gladly paid the price for me And that's why I'm so very glad.
