He Has Made Me Glad Von Brethorst, Leona
I will enter His gates
With thanksgiving in my heart.
I will enter His courts with praise.
I will say, this is the day that the Lord has made.
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
You Are My King Foote, Billy
I'm forgiven, because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again
January 4, 2015
Amazing love, how can it be
That You my King would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You
ran r He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
He has made me glad, He has made me glad,
I will rejoice for He has made me glad.
You are my King, You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
Jesus, You are my King

This Is The Day Garrett, Les
This is the day. This is the day
That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made
We will rejoice. We will rejoice,
And be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day. This is the day
That the Lord has made.

You Are My All In All Jernigan, Dennis
You are my strength when I am weak.
