I'm so glad the Lord done laid his hand on me;
I'm so glad the Lord done laid his hand on me.

1 When I was a sinner just like you,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
I sought for grace till I came, thru,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

2 My sinful heart was burdened so,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
I did not know which way to go,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

3 Old Satan thought he had me fast,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
But I broke His chain, I'm free at last,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

4 I really do believe I've go a right to shout,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
The devil and his works have been cast out,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

5 I'm just as happy as I can be,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
My sins are forgiven and my soul is free,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

6 I never shall forget that day,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
Why Jesus washed my sins away,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

7 O come along, sinner, and count the cost,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
If you don't seek Jesus your soul is lost,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]

8 O come and get your sins forgiven,
The Lord done laid his hands on me;
O come and make sure of a home in heaven,
The Lord done laid his hands on me. [Refrain]
