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!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteAmen...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.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
