1 I have found what I wanted, what I sought for so long,
I am happy in Jesus every day;
He has given contentment, he has filled me with song;
I am happy in Jesus every day.

Refrain:
I am daily enraptured and my cup runneth o’er,
I am happy in Jesus every day;
He has crowned me with blessings that I knew not before,
I am happy in Jesus every day.

2 Since I first found a pardon for the sins of my soul,
I’ve been happy in Jesus every day;
For he took me and cleansed me and he then made me whole,
And I’m happy in Jesus every day. [Refrain]

3 Oh, what pleasures he gives me, oh, the joys I have known,
I am happy in Jesus every day;
Oh, what visions of rapture unto me he hath shown;
I am happy in Jesus every day. [Refrain]
