I’d Like to Sing a Happy Song to the Lord

Vs 1

There are many things I would like to say to you

There are many places I would like to see with you too

There are so many times I have forgotten you are there

But when I see a new sunrise

And the birds fly at the start of a beautiful day                      CH

Ch

I’d like to sing a happy song to the Lord

I’d sing it strong because you are there

I’d like to sing a happy song to the Lord

And put a twinkle in your eyes

I’d like to sing a happy song to the Lord

I’d sing it out and shout out “Hooray!”

I’d like to sing a happy song to the Lord

And bring a smile to your day       (repeat x3 at end)

Vs 2

There are many sad places that are torn by the sword

There are many sad people who need to talk with you Lord

There are many times we have turned away from you

But when I see a baby smile

I know you’ve been with me all the while, and I can’t help but feel this way               CH

Vs 3

There are many amazing wonders in the world today

There are beautiful sights that words cannot describe or praise

There are so many moments I see and feel your presence near

And when I see the old day die

I rest in hope to see you with a new day surprise,.. When I can sing a Happy Song….                             CH
