Gaither Vocal Band - I am So Glad Jesus Lifted Me - Walking with the King - Medley Lyrics

"I Am So Glad Jesus Lifted Me / Walking with the King" medley opens with a traditional spiritual's simple testimony, repeating the claim that Jesus lifted the singer specifically from being bound by sin and from trouble, each instance followed by the same exclamation of glory and hallelujah. That repeated structure, naming a specific condition before crediting Jesus with lifting out of it, builds a cumulative testimony rather than a single remembered moment.

The medley's second song shifts from lifting to ongoing companionship, describing sorrows exchanged for hope and darkened days made brighter specifically because of walking with a King identified through his holy name. That shift, from single rescue to continuous relationship, extends the testimony from a completed event into an ongoing, daily reality.

Rooted in Southern gospel and traditional spiritual medley tradition, the song functions as a two-part testimony of rescue and continued companionship, its combined choruses treating both lifting and walking as complementary images of the same sustained relationship with Christ.
