Resurrection Joy...Happy Day!
/I couldn’t resist posting this again. It was Easter 2012 when I first wrote these joy-filled thoughts. My “then 5 y.o. grandson” Evan is now 13 y.o. and might rather play this awesome song on his drums.
But JOY, no matter what!
Christ is risen. . . ! He is risen indeed!
What a reason to celebrate! And celebrate is just what my 5 year old grandson does when he sings this, his favorite song.
Let's join Evan and his brother Carter...and all the saints and angels in praise to God for His glorious gift of His Risen and Reigning Son!
From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise... Psalm 8:2
Happy Day by Tim Hughes
The greatest day in history,
Death is beaten You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive The empty cross,
The empty grave
Life eternal
You have won the day
Shout it out
Jesus is alive
He's aliveChorus:
Oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changedWhen I stand, in that place Free at last, meeting face to face I am Yours Jesus You are mine Endless joy, perfect peace Earthly pain finally will cease Celebrate Jesus is aliveHe's alive
Chorus
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
Oh what a glorious day
What a glorious nameChorus
What a glorious glorious day, I'll never be the same
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 13:20-21
