GLADNESS IN MY HEART
10/19/2022
Valerie Saundry (BMI) / Albert Compton (BMI) / Carolyn Wood Cates (BMI)

VERSE 1:
It’s been a long, long way comin’ home
And I don’t know which way to go
But I believe that down the line
There’s plenty of good to find

PRE-CHORUS:
No matter how far I’d ever stray
I give it to You- You make the way straight

CHORUS:
You’ve put gladness in my heart
The world can’t understand
After all that I’ve been through
Why I still praise You
You’ve put gladness In my heart

VERSE 2:
You’ve been a strong, strong faithful friend
You’ve heard the quiet voice of my tears
Though the journey’s long and hard
You’ve kept my feet from falling

(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
I have to keep marching on, the journey’s almost done
Though the battle overtakes me, I will not be moved
I know that You will light my path
And show the way back home
I’ll carry on… (It’s been a long, long, way comin’ home)

(CHORUS)

ENDING:
You’ve put gladness In my heart
