Song: “Happiness Is the Lord”
Ira Stanphill
Refrain: Happiness is to know the Saviour,
Living a life within His favour,
Having a change in my behaviour,
Happiness is the Lord.
Happiness is a new creation,
Jesus and me in close relation,
Having a part in His salvation,
Happiness is the Lord. [Refrain]
Real joy is mine,
No matter if the teardrops start,
I’ve found a secret,
It’s Jesus in my heart.
Happiness is to be forgiven,
Living a life that’s worth the livin’,
Taking a try that leads to Heaven,
Happiness is the Lord.
Happiness is to be forgiven,
Living a life that’s worth the livin’,
Taking a trip that leads to Heaven,
Happiness is the Lord,
Happiness is the Lord,
Happiness is the Lord.
VERSE: Psalm 16:11, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
There is joy in the presence of the Lord! Hallelujah, joy comes from within. It doesn’t matter what your circumstances are, you can have true joy. Jesus invites you to experience joy by spending time with Him. You can always be joyous because God is always with you. All you need to do is call upon Him and His presence with its joy will fill you. He is with you through His Word, the Bible. He is with you in prayer as you commune with Him. He is with you in the form of the Holy Spirit that indwells you, leading you and guiding you. You are never alone. The presence of Jesus is all around you asking you to acknowledge Him so He can give you joy! Jesus loves you. You are loved.
Prayer: Jesus, give me eyes to see your presence in my life. Give me faith to know you are always with me. Give me a heart that always knows your joy. Jesus I love you. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
