I remember when I was a little boy
You see, my mama took me to church
Ohh the preacher, he was preaching
About the goodness of the Lord
Oh yes
While the preacher was praying
The choir was singing
In the house of the Lord
(repeat)
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
Somebody started shouting
And I didn't know what was going on
Then I heard something moving
Deep down in my soul
I asked mama what was going on
She said it ain't nothing but the holy ghost
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
I am glad to be
In the house of the Lord
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
In the house----
In the house----
In the house----
House of the Lord
House of the Lord
House of the Lord
House of the Lord
(repeat as needed)
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
I'm glad to be
In the house of the Lord
