Bill Monroe - Happy on My Way Lyrics

I want to thank my Jesus for the way that I feel
I'm so full of religion, I just can't be still
I wanna sing it and shout it and let the people know
That I'm saved by His mercy and I'm ready to go

That's why I'm happy, yes, I'm happy, happy on my way
Rejoicing and singing His praises every day
For Jesus is near me and there He will stay
That's why I'm happy, yes, I'm happy, happy on my way

I just can't see why you sinners go on
Livin' in sorrow, doin' so wrong
Hidin' your face from the Savior above
Denying yourself, of His wonderful love

That's why I'm happy, yes, I'm happy, happy on my way
Rejoicing and singing His praises every day
For Jesus is near me and there He will stay
That's why I'm happy, yes, I'm happy, happy on my way

What a wonderful feeling just to know I am saved
And my Savior will guide me 'til I enter the grave
And then He will greet me at Heaven's open door
And I'll live in glory with Him forever more

That's why I'm happy, yes, I'm happy, happy on my way
Rejoicing and singing His praises every day
For Jesus is near me and there He will stay
That's why I'm happy, yes, I'm happy, happy on my way
