lyrics
Verse 1:
Are you happy in Jesus?
Does the new leave you thrilled—
That He carried the burden of sin
That we rightly deserved to feel?
Verse 2:
Would you rather have Jesus
Than the praises of Kings?
For you rest in the sweet commendation
Of knowing you've been redeemed?
Chorus:
Happy in Jesus!
Forgiven and free—
He means more than this
Whole wide world to me
Wonderful Jesus
The One that I call
My life, my peace, my joy
My all in all
Verse 3:
When temptation is calling?
Do you flee to His side?
As the pleasure of sin is eclipsed
By the beauty of Jesus Christ?
Verse 4:
Have you made Him your treasure?
Have you counted the cost?
And consider the life that He offers
Is worth any earthly loss?
Bridge 1:
Grace to cover all my sin
My life made new in Him
I'm happy in the Lord
Peace to ease my anxious mind
Upheld by love divine
I'm happy in the Lord
Verse 5:
Do you long for His presence
Just to be where He dwells
For a day with the Savior is better
Than thousands anywhere else
Bridge 2:
Grace to cover all my sin
My life made new in Him
I'm happy in the Lord
Peace to ease my anxious mind
Upheld by love divine
I'm happy in the Lord
Hope invincible and sure
Is mine forevermore
I'm happy in the Lord
God and heaven are my own
My Father and my home
I'm happy in the Lord

Sunday Morning Songs aims to help local churches sing the timeless truths of Scripture in ways that faithfully embrace and transcend our cultural contexts.
Urban Doxology has been an inspiration from afar and a sort of musical older cousin with their blend of eclectic, biblical, expressive worship in song. They've held it down and we need more like them! Sunday Morning Songs
This brother out of the UK has composed a choice compilation of songs for weary souls based on the Psalms. A number of dear friends, artists in their own right, contributed to this rich project. Sunday Morning Songs
