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
[fiddle - guitar]

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
