The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One day I was walkin'
One day I was talkin'
One day I was livin' deep in sin
No, I wouldn't believe it
I wouldn't receive it
No, I never knew I needed such a friend
I started seekin'
And I started searchin'
Lookin' for that Man of Galilee
I started prayin'
Hear these words I'm sayin'
Come on down from glory and set me free
Don't you know
Chorus:
He put a runnin' (in my feet)
He put a clappin' (in my hands)
He put a shoutin' (in my heart)
He took the doubtin' (from my mind)
The day got brighter (brighter)
No, it got lighter (lighter)
I started walkin' (walkin')
I started talkin' (talkin')
I started singin' (singin')
Kept on shoutin' (shoutin')
God said (if we could believe it)
God said (that we could receive it)
I said thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus
Thank You, Jesus
All night long
Everybody shoulda really oughta been there
When He set me free
He set me free
He set me free
He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound
My Jesus to see
And glory to God, He set me free
Now I am climbin' much higher each day
Darkness of night has all drifted away
My feet are planted on higher ground
Glory to God I am homeward bound
Repeat Chorus
