This song is about the relief and joy we feel when we realize God has brought to a good place after a difficult season. We can lose our joy along the narrow way, because of the painful and unexpected journey we must take. But God promises that there will be joy in the end. That we will reach the other side of our red sea and experience the victory He died to give us.
I’m Glad
The description of the song
My Story
The journey has been so long, and so hard, I had forgotten that God was still good and that His love was still surrounding me. I was temporarily blinded by circumstance that overshadowed God’s love, but God knew it was just a matter of time when my joy would be restored and that I would once again see his goodness in my life and end up being grateful for m y journey.
The Lyrics
I’m Glad
I’m glad
I’m glad
That my sad days are now over
Days when I cried
Days I couldn’t see
That Your goodness
Was still surrounding me
I’m glad
I’m glad
That this mountain is no longer
My best friend
I’m glad
For all the times
I thought I would die
For all the times
I had no tears left to cry, its over
And I’m glad
I’m glad
I didn’t quit
But more glad that You didn’t
That You couldn’t
Give up on me
Yes, I’m glad
The worst is over
The testing has ceased
And now
Now there is peace
I’m glad
Yes I’m glad
For my journey
For the twists
And the turns
That made me
Who You wanted me
to be..
I’m glad
Oh oh
I’m glad
So so glad
That You loved me
That You
Never left me
I was blind but now
I see
I’m glad You were always here with me
Watching, protecting, directing
Making me free
I’m glad
I’m so glad
You had a plan
That brought me
To this desired end
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I’m glad
I’m glad
I belong to you
And that You
You brought me through
It all
Through my red sea
Through the storms,
through the waves
I got through
Only because of You
And I’m glad You were always
with me
Thank you Lord
For the abundance
For The overflow
Of grace and mercy
That I now know
Yes, after all of this
Now, that the worst is over
And he battle has been won
I share in Your victory
Because of You
And only You
I have won
I have won
So now
Let be said
Let it be known
That I’m your child
I belong to You, yes
And I’m glad
Oh oh oh
I’m glad
