98. Glory, Glory, Hallelujah

1 Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since I laid my burden down,
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since I laid my burden down.

2 I feel better, so much better,
Since I laid my burden down,
I feel better, so much better,
Since I laid my burden down.

3 Feel like shouting, "Hallelujah!"
Since I laid my burden down,
Feel like shouting, "Hallelujah!"
Since I laid my burden down.

4 I am climbing Jacob’s ladder,
Since I laid my burden down,
I am climbing Jacob’s ladder,
Since I laid my burdens down.

5 Ev'ry round goes higher and higher,
Since I laid my burden down,
Ev'ry round goes higher and higher,
Since I laid my burden down.
