Claude Barzotti - Glory, Glory, Alleluia

My soul was overburdened with frustration and with fright,
I suffered pains and ag'ny, ev'ry morning, ev'ry night.
I called upon my Maker so to overcome my plight;
His Truth would set me free.
Chorus: Glory, glory, Alleluia; glory, glory, Alleluia;
Glory, glory, Alleluia; God's Truth will set me free.
I told Him I was lonely and was void of happiness,
For me there was no peace, but only fear and bitterness.
God calmly reassured me He would lighten my distress;
His Truth will set me free.
Chorus
He advised me that I cast aside my ego and my whims,
To robe myself in humbleness and meekly follow Him;
No longer would my inner light remain obscure and dim;
His Truth will set me free.
Chorus
God told me it was up to me, that I could make my choice;
To either do the things I like or listen to His voice.

I chose to listen to His voice and now I can rejoice;
God's Truth has set me free.
Chorus: God's Truth has set me free.
By yielding to the Master's voice, with faith I now endure
The bitter trials I meet in life. His Truth is sweet and pure.
Misfortunes, pains and agony can frustrate me no more;
God's Truth has set me free.
Chorus: God's Truth has set me free.
God's Truth has built inside of me a strong and lasting faith,
With patience, understanding now, I can endure my weight.
His Truth has taught me how to love and how to ward off hate;
God's Truth has set me free.
Chorus: God's Truth has set me free.
The fears, uncertainties of life that constantly will spring
From man's or nature's painful acts; from sickness or death's sting;
Above them all, through faith and joy, I now can loudly sing
God's Truth has set me free.
Chorus: Glory, glory, Alleluia; Glory, glory, Alleluia,
Glory, glory, Alleluia; God's Truth has set me free.
