  • You see a smile on my face
  • It’s an asset I’d never trade
  • It’s not a joke. I’m not just happy
  • All that cosmetic stuff will fade


  • I have a hope. I have a future.
  • The one who promised will never lie
  • He’s shown his power by dying
  • So now I know I’ll never die


  • Oh oh I’m more than happy
  • Oh oh oh oh


  • Refrain
  • I know a joy, Inexpressible joy
  • Glorious joy floods my soul while earth’s pleasures seem incomplete
  • Unutterable joy, Glorious joy wash over me




  • In my bones I feel the spurs
  • Of the enemy’s snares and nets
  • Though I’m not scared
  • of ducks or devils
  • At times I’d like to hedge all my bets


  • Then I get lost in the shadows
  • Of the self-help isle’s misapplied
  • But even there he finds me
  • And he shows me my funny cide




  • Oh oh won’t you laugh with me
  • Oh oh I’m more than happy.  Oh oh oh oh


  • Refrain


  • You’ll need no cure from this contagion
  • There’s enough joy to go around
  • Forget the latex gloves and loose the SARS mask
  • Let your Spirit resistance down     Oh oh oh oh
