Lyrics

My soul is hap­py all day long—
Jesus is my Sav­ior;
And all my life is full of song—
Jesus died for me.

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
To the lov­ing Lamb for sin­ners slain;
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
To the Lamb who lives again.

My hea­vy load of sin is gone—
Jesus is my Sav­ior;
At His dear cross I laid it down—
Jesus died for me.

Refrain

I heard the voice of mer­cy call—
Jesus is my Sav­ior;
I simp­ly trust­ed, that was all—
Jesus died for me.

Refrain

Now will I tell it all around—
Jesus is my Sav­ior;
How sweet a bless­ing I have found—
Jesus died for me.
