HAPPY IN JESUS <\/p>\n

Happy in Jesus, there is no better way,
\nTo live out your life, every single day.
\nNo world filled with sorrow, or dismay,
\nGive me joy of Spirit, dear Lord I pray.<\/p>\n

Forget getting drunk, on booze and wine,
\nPopping pills, won’t make you feel fine.
\nHaving a smoke, will cut your life line,
\nOther vices too, lead to a box of pine.<\/p>\n

Only God’s Spirit can cure all your ills,
\nSatan’s offers are all just cheap deals.
\nHere is the secret, to get big thrills,
\nBe happy in Jesus, and see how it feels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
