You put a song in my heart
Rhythm in my step
Praise as my garment
For the spirit of heaviness
Beauty for ashes
Joy for my pain
Love overwhelming
Causes me to say
You’ve made me glad
You’ve made me glad
You’ve made me glad
Lord I will rejoice because You have
You’ve made me glad
You’ve made me glad
You’ve made me glad
Lord I will rejoice because
You have made me glad
Oh yeah
So I will lift my hands
And lift my voice
The way I feel
I have no choice
You made me glad
I’m gonna dance and sing
And shout for joy
And praise Your name
I will rejoice
You made me glad
