Text: Claude Barzotti. Barzotti Chante Noel. Glory, Glory, Alleluia.


My soul was overburdened with frustration and with fright,

I suffered pains and ag'ny, ev'ry morning, ev'ry night.

I called upon my Maker so to overcome my plight;

His Truth would set me free.

Chorus: Glory, glory, Alleluia; glory, glory, Alleluia;

Glory, glory, Alleluia; God's Truth will set me free.

I told Him I was lonely and was void of happiness,

For me there was no peace, but only fear and bitterness.

God calmly reassured me He would lighten my distress;

His Truth will set me free.

Chorus

He advised me that I cast aside my ego and my whims,

To robe myself in humbleness and meekly follow Him;

No longer would my inner light remain obscure and dim;

His Truth will set me free.

Chorus

God told me it was up to me, that I could make my choice;

To either do the things I like or listen to His voice.

I chose to listen to His voice and now I can rejoice;

God's Truth has set me free.

Chorus: God's Truth has set me free.

By yielding to the Master's voice, with faith I now endure

The bitter trials I meet in life. His Truth is sweet and pure.

Misfortunes, pains and agony can frustrate me no more;

God's Truth has set me free.

Chorus: God's Truth has set me free.

God's Truth has built inside of me a strong and lasting faith,

With patience, understanding now, I can endure my weight.

His Truth has taught me how to love and how to ward off hate;

God's Truth has set me free.

Chorus: God's Truth has set me free.

The fears, uncertainties of life that constantly will spring

From man's or nature's painful acts; from sickness or death's sting;

Above them all, through faith and joy, I now can loudly sing

God's Truth has set me free.

Chorus: Glory, glory, Alleluia; Glory, glory, Alleluia,

Glory, glory, Alleluia; God's Truth has set me free.
