LIVING ON THE HALLELUJAH SIDE
1. Once a sinner
far from Jesus, I was perishing with cold,
But the blessed
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 hallelujah roll;
Help me ring the
Savior' 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Here the sin 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.
5. 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.
