Lyrics of It Was A Great Thing from The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir's Be Glad Album

[Verse 1]
The LORD has brought me, thru' all my sorrows
When I failed HIM, he didn't cast me away
HE stood right by me, thru' all my troubles
When I was gone, HE didn't let me go astray

[Bridge]
He took my sins and saved my soul
He cleaned me up and made me whole
Jesus died on Calvary, So the whole wide world could see
It was a great thing, That He did for me

[Chorus]
It was a great thing, That He did for me
It was a great thing, When He set me free
Jesus died on Calvary,  So the whole wide world would see
It was a great thing, That He did for me

[Verse 2]
He's been my Doctor, He's been my Lawyer
My God's been good to me,  He's been my Friend
He's my Comforter, when I was lonely
When I was going astray, He took me in

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
(repeat 3x)

[Ending]
Jesus died on Calvary,  So the whole wide world could see
It was a great thing,
It was a great thing,
It was a great thing,
It was a great thing,
It was a great thing, That He did for me
