That Glad Reunion Day (Live) - Gaither

Well, I roll into town With the ragtop down I was looking for that homecoming queen That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read Welcome back Class of '83 There were football guys twice their size Cheerleaders hiding the grey in their hair The names were the same but the faces had changed I didn't recognize anyone there. That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go? That used to be us. Oh, that used to be us. I had a drink with some buds Played a lot of catch up Danced with my date from the prom But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes Everybody I knew was gone There was Mr. Finch, he taught English and French He was dancing with a couple of canes And that homecoming queen, Yeah the girl of my dreams She didn't even remember my name. That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go? That used to be us. As I stand here and look around I can't help but wonder Who will we be ten years from now? That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go? That used to be us. Oh, that used to be us. That used to be us. That used to be us...

Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in All those years longing for a land We were starved, much too weak to stand And they took their toil, tyrants of the soul With no place we could call our own With no song, Lord, you heard our groan And you made a way where there was no way Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out to bring us in Out of chains and the bonds of man Out of death and the curse of sin Through the desert sand to the promise land Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out to bring us in
