He Has Made Me Glad
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.
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.
