Refrain: I’m glad it reaches me, Glad it reaches me, This wonderful salvation so full and free; I’m glad it reaches me, Glad it reaches me, This wonderful salvation, it reaches me. 2 I heard the gospel story, ‘twas music to my soul, I’m glad salvation reaches me; I came to Christ a sinner, he made me fully whole, I’m glad salvation reaches me. [Refrain] 3 I’ll tell the Saviour’s goodness and tell his pow’r to save, I’m glad salvation reaches me; Thro’ him I have assurance of life beyond the grave, I’m glad salvation reaches me.
