Im Glad I'm In That Number

(Reverend Gary Davis)

(edited and additional verses, Susan Hinton)

 

I'm glad I'm in that number,
In that holy number!
I'm glad I'm in that number,
Goin' up to God.
I'm glad I'm in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

I feel good in that number,
In that holy number!
I feel good in that number,
Goin' up to God.
I feel good in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

So I'm marchin' in that number,
In that holy number.
I'm marchin' in that number,
Goin' up to God.
I'm marchin' in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

And I hope you're in that number,
In that holy number!
I hope you're in that number,
Goin' up to God.
I hope you're in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

Do you want to be in that number,
In that holy number?
Do you want to be in that number,
Goin' up to God?
Do you want to be in that number,
In that holy number?
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

Let's take them in that number,
In that holy number!
Our brothers in that number,
Goin' up to God.
Our sisters in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

The we'll all be in that number,
In that holy number!
We'll all be in that number,
Goin' up to God.
We'll all be in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

We'll praise Him in that number,
In that holy number!
Be shoutin' in that number,
Goin' up to God.
Go dancin' in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.

Praise God! I'm in that number,
In that holy number!
I know I'm in that number,
Goin' up to God.
Praise God I'm in that number,
In that holy number,
Goin' up, goin' up to God.
