I Bowed on My Knees
and Cried, "Holy"
Words and music by Jimmie Davis

Psalm 103:1
"Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name."

          I dreamed of a city called Glory,
          So bright and so fair.
          When I entered that gate I cried, "Holy"
          The angels all met me there:
          They carried me from mansion to mansion,
          And oh what sights I saw.
          But I said, "I want to see Jesus,
          He's the One who died for all."

            Chorus
            Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
            "Holy, Holy, Holy."
            Then I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
            Glory to the Son of God."
            Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
            "Holy, Holy, Holy."
            Then I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
            Glory to the Son of God."

          I thought as I entered that city,
          My friends all knew me well.
          They showed me the streets of Heaven;
          Such scenes too numerous to tell;
          I saw Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
          Mark, Luke and Timothy.
          But I said, "I want to see Jesus,
          He's the One who died for me."

            Chorus
            Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
            "Holy, Holy, Holy."
            Then I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
            Glory to the Son of God."
            Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
            "Holy, Holy, Holy."
            Then I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
            Glory to the Son of God."
