I’m happy in Jesus and tell it I must, For He has redeemed me, I know; My sins were like crimson, my heart was defiled— He washed me as white as the snow.
Refrain: I’m singing because I am free, And Jesus is reigning in me; Hallelujah! I’m happy since in Him I trust, And sing it and tell it I must.
I’m filled with the Spirit and washed in the blood, King Jesus is living in me; The glory of heaven beams down on my way, I’m sanctified, happy and free.
Sometimes I am tempted by Satan and sin, Sometimes I am weary and worn; But e’en in my darkness God’s promise is true, And gladness returns with the morn.
So onward I travel to heaven above, Through glory or sadness so drear; By faith in His promise I’ll live for the Lord, And sing till the clouds disappear.
