Happy Day Songtext

You chose to restore, my soul to wholeness

I couldn't contemplate sin, in my simple brain
And never recodnised, my sinfull ways
Till I heard the good news, simple and straight
That name 'Christ Jesus', the king who saves

I came to know forgivness, cleansed from inside
From every fight every line, every night every crime
Everytime I'd ever lied, been angry or had pride
And every bad thought, inside my mind

Every wrong motive, that I hid deep down
All taken out..., I'm free now
Once running about, and mucking around
Once I was lost, thank God I'm now found.

Chorus

Your love came down, and rescued me ?I love you?... that's what you said to me
definitely set the remedy, there in Gethsemane
Jesus sent, to fend death for me

My defending friend, who made all this
Ta ta tongue divider, who made Babel split
Generations tell of your faithfulness
Sing praise 'How great our saviour is'

Thee empty cross, thee empty grave
Life eternal, you've won the day
And when I stand, in that place
Free to meet him, face to face

You're the answer to the cry's, of my soul
A lost sheep on my own, you took my faults
Though my sin was crimson, as I know
You chose to wash it, white as snow

Chorus

Thankyou Lord it's not about me, or my own words
It's not about thee amount of times, I go Church
Or how much I've done for others, cos it's by no works
That were saved - only you, for whom my soul yearns

A king a servant, sent to earth with
The task of the cross, to take our burdens
It's not fair, no - you didn't deserve it
Let the world embrace you, through the depth's of worship

Let me turn to you Lord, and sing you a new song
What you did for me knowing, I'd still do wrong
No condemnation, let us move on
To stand in the victory, that you have won

And though all fall short, we can't pay that wage
But he's prepared a way, that price is paid
And though we all sin, from day to day
ALL who call up on his name, WILL be saved - happy day's
