When I Get Carried Away

Stanza One rewritten by Ed Richmond

January of 2001

I'm gonna let the glory roll when the roll is called in glory.

I'm gonna get beside myself when I get beside the King that day.

I'm gonna have the time of my life when the time of my life is over.

I'm gonna get carried away when I get carried away.

(1) When I lift my sword and praise the Lord,

His presence is all around me.

I’ve known his worth since my rebirth

And I love to praise his name.

I’ll praise him here with shouts as clear

As this mortal tongue can utter;

When I leave this place and see his face,

I’ll give him perfect praise.

(2) When I pass the clouds, I'll shout so loud

It may sound like thunder.

The tears I cry will fill the sky

Until it looks like rain.

As I leave this world past the gates of pearl

And I stand before my Savior,

I'm gonna lift my soul, let the glory roll,

When from the roll he calls my name.
