Representative Text

1 I’m so glad I heard the Savior calling,
And that voice I hastened to obey,
I will follow on, for He is leading
To that land of everlasting day.

Refrain:
I’m so glad that Jesus came and saved me,
I’m so glad I’m trusting Him today,
I’m so glad He’s walking close beside me,
And He’s going with me all the way.

2 O how sweet to fully trust in Jesus,
And to follow in His steps each day,
To the golden streets of that fair city,
He is going with me all the way. [Refrain]

3 I’m so glad a mansion there is waiting,
And no storm clouds there will ever blow,
And I’ll walk beside the crystal river,
Where the healing waters gently flow. [Refrain]

4 Give your life in service to the Master,
Richest blessings on you He’ll bestow,
And He’ll lead you to the greenest pasture;
Where the healing waters gently flow. [Refrain]
