Lyrics

I have a friend whose life is sweet to me,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day;
His blood doth keep me clean and make me free,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day.

Refrain

I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day;
For Je­sus goes with me all the way,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day.

He bore my bur­dens all up­on the tree,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day;
His pre­cious life He gave to par­don me,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day.

Refrain

His grace to me grows sweet­er ev­ery day,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day;
It helps to keep me from the ev­il way,
I’m hap­py in Je­sus to­day.
