O Say, But I’m Glad

Psalm 9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

Because of the love of Jesus, we can know through the darkest tunnels of life that He will be with us. I’m glad about that.

We can be glad because we can have a rich and sweet fellowship with Him.

We can be glad because we can bring Him all our care.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Occasionally, a song will combine words and music in such a way as to bubble over with joy. This is such a song, 

As Christians, we should be examples to others of the gladness that Christ can bring to our lives.  

We will experience times of sorrow and sadness, but if we are a child of God, abiding in Him, even in trials and tribulations we can still affirm our gladness in Him.  

O Say, But I’m Glad.

"There is a song in my heart today, —. Something I never had;  —  Jesus has taken my sins away,  —  O say, but I’m glad!

Chorus
"O say, but I’m glad, I’m glad;  —  O say, but I’m glad!  —  Jesus has come and my cup’s overrun;  —  O say, but I’m glad!

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

 "We have a fellowship rich and sweet,  —  Tongue can ne’er relate.
Living in Him is a blessed treat;  —  O say, but it’s great!"

 "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!"
