I want to thank Jesus for the way that I feel

I'm so full of religion I just can't be still

I want to sing it and shout it and let the people know

That I'm saved by his mercy and I'm ready to go



   (That's why I'm Happy) Yes I'm happy happy on my way

   (Rejoicing and singing) His praises everyday

   For Jesus is near me and there he will stay

   (That's why I'm happy) Yes I'm happy happy on my way



I just can't see why you sinners go on 

Livin' in sorrow doin' so wrong

Hidin' your face from the savior above

Denying yourself his wonderful love



What a wonderful feeling just to know I am saved

And the Savior will guide me 'til I enter the grave

And then he will greet me at heaven's open door

And I'll live in glory with Him forever more
