Hank Snow I'm Glad i'm on the Inside (Looking Out) Lyrics:
|
In the days of Noah just before the flood
|
When the wicked world had all forgotten God
|
Brother Noah, built a boat which above God's wrath did float
|
And the people found that they were made of mud
|
As the door stood open with the gang plank out
|
Noah and his family entered with a shout
|
When the scoffers stretched their necks
|
Noah looked out o'er the deck and said
|
I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out
|
|
Oh I'd rather be on the inside looking out
|
Than to be upon the outside looking in
|
When the rain began to fall sinners on the Lord did call
|
But the door was shut and night was settin' in
|
Then old Noah from the window looking out
|
Gazed away to heaven beyond the water spout
|
And he said I thank the Lord that I took him at his word
|
I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out
|

|
Good old Daniel lived in Babylon long ago
|
And he had the grace to tell the devil no
|
Though he prayed three times a day in the good old fashioned way
|
They said he to the lions den must go
|
But the lions made him welcome to their home
|
For they found that he was nothing but backbone
|
When the king looked in and said are you alive or are you dead
|
He was stunned as Daniel spoke in gentle tone
|
|
Oh I'd rather be on the inside looking out
|
Than to be upon the outside looking in
|
While you paced the palace floor I had nought to do but snore
|
Jesus put a padlock on each lions chin
|
Good old Daniel from the window looking out
|
I guess that he felt good enough to shout
|
The he said long live the king and then started in to sing
|
I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out
|
|
Paul and Silas made their way to Phillipi
|
Determined that they'd preach the word or die
|
Then a damsel hell possessed to defeat them tried her best
|
Until Paul turned and blacked the devil's eye
|
So they locked them up with none to go their bail
|
Still they sang praises to a God that cannot fail
|
Then an earthquake shook the place and the jailer showed his face
|
Paul said do thyself no harm we're still in jail
|
|
Oh I'd rather be on the inside looking out
|
Than to be upon the outside looking in
|
So now put away thy sword and take Jesus at his word
|
If you'd have the Savior save you from your sin
|
Then the jailer cast aside his every doubt
|
Paul and Silas baptized him with a shout
|
Then this hallelujah bunch went and had a midnight lunch
|
I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out
|
