I'm So Glad

I am so glad I can see and hear
And feel the touch of You so near
You talk to me and You listen so
And yes...It feels so great
To know you are there.
I'll leave this earth without a true soul mate
But I've known love and I've had some rough breaks
Praise to You God, in Heaven above
I've taken chances and not all were a success
But ones that were, I sure feel blessed
I wouldn't trade my life now any of others and
of knowing You as my Father and Brother
You had me planned out so long ago
The talents and gifts you have bestowed
It took so long for me to know

Looking back I can know and see
What You always meant for me to be
Your love I'd love to share
With all around me...everywhere
But Lord, some don't know and
Most don't care
They are so deaf and blind to the truth
And are lost without  You if You will
Touch all Lord so they can feel
And know how much You really do care
With all the guidance and love You want to share

Just for their soul not to be lost
Oh Lord, I know you paid the cost
Your heart has to be of purest gold
You sparkle and shine everywhere I look
And for us let them kill and hung You?
It's in the book
Say, let's all take a stroll with Him starting today
Start, with all you meet along Your way
Talk to ones who need to know
That to Heaven they'll want to go
