Hank Snow - I'm Glad I'm On The Inside Lyrics
In the days of Noah just before the floodWhen the wicked world had all forgotten GodBrother Noah built a boatWhich above God's wrath did floatAnd the people saw that they were made of mudAs the door stood open with the gangplank outBrother Noah, he entered with a shoutWhen the scoffers stretched their necksNoah stood out on the deck and saidI'm so glad I'm on the inside looking outRefrain:Oh, I'd rather be on the inside looking outThan to be upon the outside looking inWhen the rain began to fall,Sinners on the lord did callBut the door was shut and night was setting inThen old Noah from the window looking outGazed to heaven beyond the water spoutAnd he said I thank the Lord that I took Him at His wordI'm glad I'm on the inside looking outBreak (guitar)Good old Daniel lived in Babylon long agoAnd he had the grace to tell the devil noThough he prayed three times a dayIn that good old fashioned wayThey said he to the lion den must goAnd the lions made him welcome to their homeFor they knew that he was nothing but backboneWhen the king looked in and said"Are you alive or are you dead?"He was stirred as Daniel spoke in gentle tonesRefrain:Oh, I'd rather be on the inside looking outThen to be upon the outside looking inWhile you paced the palace floorI had not to do but snoreJesus put a padlock on each lion's chinThat old Daniel from the inside looking outDon't you think he felt good enough to shoutThen he said long live the King and he started into singI'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out
