I Bowed on My Knees and Cried, "Holy"
Dear friend, I bow my knees today
for this dream to come true
for you and I to bow before
The King and cry "Holy"
I Bowed on My Knees and Cried, "Holy"
Words and music by Jimmie Davis
I dreamed of a city called Glory,
So bright and so fair.
When I entered that gate I cried, "Holy"
The angels all met me there:
They carried me from mansion to mansion,
And oh what sights I saw.
But I said, "I want to see Jesus,
He's the One who died for all."
Chorus
Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
"Holy, Holy, Holy."
Then I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
Glory to the Son of God."
Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
"Holy, Holy, Holy."
Then I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
Glory to the Son of God."
I thought as I entered that city,
My friends all knew me well.
They showed me the streets of Heaven;
Such scenes too numerous to tell;
I saw Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
Mark, Luke and Timothy.
But I said, "I want to see Jesus,
He's the One who died for me."

What a day that will be! Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!
Jennifer,
Amen...Who Was and Is and IS to come!
If that's the Jimmie Davis I think it was, he was governor of my state when I was about 10 years old. And he had another song, too, one about sunshine.
And thanks for that cool badge you have on the upper left. :)
Glynn, funny how both of those songs start out with a dream, only this time instead of singing about his sunshine his only sunshine who makes him happy when skies are grey,he's singing of the maker of the Sun. I think he found his true love who won't take his sunshine away. Oh, and thank you writing the cool book that badge in the upper left clicks to.
I so enjoyed that song some years ago. Gaithers, yes, but Ricky Van Shelton was the one I listened to "back then". Thanks for reminding us of the wonder of it. The focus.
Hi Caryjo, thanks, nice to see you again. The songs will soon be more than a memory and more than a dream, one day soon they'll be a dream come true.
