1 verse:
Em6 F# Hm
Happiness - the dream that all of us desire!
Em7 A7 D
Seeking, hunting, searching, chasing - “Where
Em F# Hm
Can we find delight?” We cannot live without it.
Em F#
Give us joy or else our souls will die.
Chorus:
Em F#7
Jesus! Real joy is found alone in knowing,
Hm
Jesus. Every other place we turn
Em Hm
Leads us madly onto empty shadows.
Em F# Hm
Happy is the one who trusts in Christ!
2 verse:
Eagerly a man sought long for lasting pleasure.
Turning up a cup, a pot, a stone
In his desperate search. But in his frantic seeking -
Missed his step and fell into the pit.
Chorus:
Jesus! Real joy is found alone in knowing,
Jesus. When we take God’s Word by faith,
It begins to make us pure and righteous.
Happy is the one who trusts in Christ!
3 verse:
Long ago our Lord came to this world of sorrows,
Healed and saved our souls from end less death.
Jesus, Son of God - Upon the cross He suffered;
Washed away our sin and gave us joy!
Chorus:
Jesus! Real joy is found alone in knowing,
Jesus. He forgives our life of sin,
Changes us, renews us, gives us freedom
From the pain and burden of our sins.
Jesus! Every one who stands with Christ,
Knows this joy which lives in spite of sorrow.
Happiness is faith in Jesus Christ!
