    HOW GLAD I AM

    How glad I am
    2 be with you again
    delivered 2 a place
    where love shall never end

    yes, my words shall never die
    I now stand in the battlefields
    and proudly testify
    and
    as trembling itself entered unto me
    and shuddering covers me
    HOW GLAD I AM
    You are my Friend

    yes, I stand when so many fell
    all stereotypes and slights
    my intellect, passion and pride
    can now dispell

    my faith rewarded
    the Truth I clearly see
    when my reality distorted
    In a fear inspiring way we are wonderfully made
    2 deny the temptations God forbade
    oh, HOW GLAD I AM
    You are my Friend

    yes, let the Rampart's glare silhouette the night
    I stand and fight
    marching with You in faith
    my Eternal Light

    I now sing songs of Praise
    I, as a Black Man
    PROUDLY stand
    from the bottomless pit I was raised
    2 ensure nothing will cause pain, mourning or death
    in the coming earthly Paradise
    though battererd and weary
    I shall continue 2 fight
    4, HOW GLAD I AM
    You are my Friend

    yes,when all laughed and mocked my name
    You cleansed my evil intentions
    and eased my mental strain

    I know smile in the face of deceivers
    shouting LOOK AT ME
    kool posin PROUDLY
    remaining a believer
    You, so tender in affection and Merciful
    the Blessings I receive so plentiful
    HOW GLAD I AM
    You are my Friend

    yes, I thank You 4 Your Protection
    4 Your Unconditional Love
    4 my resurrection
    4 never letting me go
    when winds of turmoil shifted
    and hatred started 2 blow
    2 not expect perfection in myself and others
    knowing in Faith I walk with my Sisters and Brothers
    My Lord Jesus Christ
    HOW GLAD I AM
    You are my Friend


    AMEN
