I said I wasn't gonna talk it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself (x3)
I said I wasn't gonna talk it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself
What the Lord has done for me.

[Chorus]
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He saved my soul (echo: saved my soul)
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He wrote my name on the roll
I've been walking, I been talking,
I been singing, I been shouting
What the Lord has done for me.

I said I wasn't gonna sing it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself (x3)
I said I wasn't gonna sing it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself
What the Lord has done for me.

[Chorus]
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He saved my soul (echo: saved my soul)
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He wrote my name on the roll
I've been walking, I been talking,
I been singing, I been shouting
What the Lord has done for me.

I said I wasn't gonna preach it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself (x3)
I said I wasn't gonna preach it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself
What the Lord has done for me.

[Chorus]
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He saved my soul (echo: saved my soul)
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He wrote my name on the roll
I've been walking, I been talking,
I been singing, I been shouting
What the Lord has done for me.

I said I wasn't gonna clap.
But I couldn't keep it to myself (x3)
I said I wasn't gonna clap.
But I couldn't keep it to myself
What the Lord has done for me.

[Chorus]
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He saved my soul (echo: saved my soul)
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He wrote my name on the roll
I've been walking, I been talking,
I been singing, I been shouting
What the Lord has done for me.

I said I wasn't gonna shout it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself (x3)
I said I wasn't gonna shout it.
But I couldn't keep it to myself
What the Lord has done for me.

[Chorus]
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He saved my soul (echo: saved my soul)
You oughta been there (echo: oughta been there)
When He wrote my name on the roll
I've been walking, I been talking,
I been singing, I been shouting
What the Lord has done for me.
