I
I USED TO BE (SOMETIMES UP)
AND I USED TO BE (SOMETIMES DOWN)
WELL I ONCE WALKED. IN SINKING SAND,
I HAD NO LOVE, FOR MY FELLOW MAN.
BUT ONE NIGHT, I SAW THE LIGHT.
AND THAT'S WHEN JESUS. GAVE ME MY SIGHT.
II
I DON'T HAVE SILVER, I DON'T HAVE GOLD.
BUT I'VE GOT JOY, DOWN IN MY SOUL.
I DON'T HAVE DIAMONDS, I DON'T HAVE PEARLS.
JUST SINGING HIS PRAISES, UNTO THE WORLD.
CHORUS
BUT NOW MY FEET ARE ON SOLID GROUND,
SINCE GOD SAVED ME THE POWER CAME DOWN.
WELL NOW MY SOUL IS HEAVENLY BOUND,
FOR NOW I'M WALKING ON SOLID GROUND.
