It’s So

Author: N. B. Herrell Hymnal: Soul Inspiring Songs #10 (1929) First Line: Once I was blind to gospel light Refrain First Line: Praise the Lord, it’s so Lyrics: 1 Once I was blind to gospel light, My Lord I did not know; But when I prayed he set me right, Praise the Lord, it’s so. Refrain: Praise the Lord, it’s so, Praise the Lord, it’s so; Once I was blind, but now I see, Once I was bound, but now I’m free; Thru Christ I shout the victory, Praise the Lord, it’s so. 2 My Savior broke old Satan’s chain, He had to let me go; For Christ came in my life to reign, Praise the Lord, it’s so. [Refrain] 3 As I went on to sing and shout, I found an inward foe; The Holy Spirit burned him out, Praise the Lord, it’s so. [Refrain] 4 My heart is filled with perfect love, I feel its ebb and flow; I’m happy on my way above, Praise the Lord, it’s so. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Once I was blind to gospel light]
