O The Glory Did Roll

O THE GLORY DID ROLL

I was flipping through one of my songbooks and saw this good old song. I thought about that 1st line and my mind went back to that Tuesday night when I knelt on that sidewalk in Jackson, GA. Boy, I was deep in despair that night!! I had been in deep despair for days. My heart was so heavy, I didn't think I could make it another day without His peace I had been hearing about. I prayed on that sidewalk that night and, let me tell you!!! They weren't joking about the peace. Oh my!!! It passes all understanding... just like the Bible says. You can't explain it. You can't hardly describe it. But you sure know it when you've got it!!! I'm glad His GLORY rolled in on me on June 28, 1988!!

"I was kneeling one day... asking God to forgive me. I was deep in despair, had no peace within!! I surrendered my all unto Jesus the Savior! Bless His dear name! Then the glory came down!!! I was saved from sin!

Oh the glory did roll!!! I was happy and free!!! I had heard a sweet Voice speak PARDON to me! Such a wonderful JOY I was given within when the Savior, in love, saved me from all sin!!

I will praise His dear name for the wonderful victory down in my soul and the joy in my heart all along the way! I am longing to see Heaven's glorious City, streets of pure gold, and to hear the Lord call: Come and live for aye!!

Oh the glory did roll!!! I was happy and free!!! I had heard a sweet Voice speak PARDON to me! Such a wonderful JOY I was given within when the Savior, in love, saved me from all sin!!"
