O SAY, BUT I'M GLAD

VERSE 1:
D
There is a song in my heart today,
A                 D    A
Something I never had;
D
Jesus has taken my sins away,
A7              D
O! say, but I’m glad.

CHORUS:
D  G            D
O! say, but I’m glad, I’m glad,
A7              D
O! say, but I’m glad,
          G           D
Jesus has come and my cup’s overrun;
A7              D
O! say, but I’m glad.

VERSE 2:
Wonderful, marvelous love He brings,
Into a heart that’s sad;
Through darkest tunnels the soul just sings,
O! say, but I’m glad.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
We have a fellowship rich and sweet,
Tongues can never relate;
Abiding in Him: the soul’s Retreat,
O! but say, I’m glad.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE 4:
Won’t you come to Him with all your care,
Weary and worn and sad?
You, too, will sing as His love you share,
O! say, but I’m glad.

(REPEAT CHORUS)
