The Hallelujah Side
Once a sinner far from Jesus,
I was perishing with cold,
But the bless�d Savior heard me when I cried;
Then He threw His robe around me,
And He led me to His fold,
And I�m living on the hallelujah side.
Refrain
Oh, glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll;
Help me ring the Savior�s praises far and wide,
For I�ve opened up tow�rd heaven
All the windows of my soul,
And I�m living on the hallelujah side.
Tho� the world may sweep around me
With her dazzle and her dreams,
Yet I envy not her vanities and pride,
For my soul looks up to heaven,
Where the golden sunlight gleams,
And I�m living on the hallelujah side.
Refrain
Not for all earth�s golden millions
Would I leave this precious place,
Tho� the tempter to persuade me oft has tried,
For I�m safe in God�s pavilion,
Happy in His love and grace,
And I�m living on the hallelujah side.
Refrain
Here the sun is always shining,
Here the sky is always bright;
�Tis no place for gloomy Christians to abide,
For my soul is filled with music
And my heart with great delight,
And I�m living on the hallelujah side.
Refrain
And upon the streets of glory,
When we reach the other shore,
And have safely crossed the Jordan�s rolling tide,
You will find me shouting �Glory�
Just outside my mansion door
Where I�m living on the hallelujah side.
Refrain
