The time was 1955 a meal was 40 centsA Cadillac was the car to drive and Ike was presidentRevivals set whole towns ablaze while mom, the dad and kidsWere Holy Ghost electrified by wild evangelistsBut nothing could compareOr none took you quite as highAs being at the tent and hearing people testify(they'd say)I want to give honor unto God, bishops, pastors, elders, praise God I'm in my right mind tooI woke up determined to go 100% with Jesus 'cause 99 1/2 just won't doI ask the saints please pray I'll be the one God's callin' for in these last and evil daysHe's been better to me than I've been to myself and I give God all the praise!Once all this had ended up to the microphoneStepped the man of God himself, strong, alone and proneWith a furnace in his eyes and no time left to playThis human locomotive right there began to sayCHORUSI believe in a God that sets the captives freeI believe in the blood that flows from CalvaryDoes anyone love Jesus, does anyone hate sin?Does anyone believe that Christ is coming back again?But what God wants me to ask you, what He needs to know mostAre you saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost?I'm so glad that the Lord saved meI'm so glad that the Lord saved meOral Roberts, William Branham, Jack Coe and Billy GrahamHealed body, soul and spirit as they thundered 'cross the landWhile Howdy Doody held the nation captive on TVThe power of God was on these men to set those captives free.But nothing could compareOr none took you quite as highAs being at the tent and hearing people testify(and they'd say)I want to give honor unto God, mothers, missionaries, saints, and all my friendsI thank the Lord I've been saved all day livin' free and separated from sinI've got life, health, strength, wouldn't take nothin' for my journey pray the Lord keep me strongWoke up with my mind stayed on Jesus and I've been praising Him all day longOnce all this had ended up to the microphoneStepped the man of God himself, strong, alone and proneWith a furnace in his eyes, and no time left to play,This human locomotive right there began to sayCHORUSI'm so glad that the Lord saved meI'm so glad that the Lord saved meIf it had not been for Jesus,Where would I be?I'm so glad that the Lord saved me.I'm so glad that the Lord saved meI'm so glad that the Lord saved meWell, if it had not been for Jesus,Where would I be?I'm so glad that the Lord saved meHe saved me, He saved me, He saved me, He saved meWell, if it had not been for Jesus,Where would I be?I'm so glad that the Lord saved me
