"Why Not Be Happy (Instead of Sad)?"
(happy.mid)

(Big Band Style)

Why not be happy, instead of sad?
Why should you be cryin', instead of glad?
When the Lord your God gave His Son
To set His people free --
I know, you know,
He died for you and me.

Why live in darkness instead of light?
Come walk in the sunshine, instead of night.
The Lord Jesus Christ rose again
To live in me and you --
Why not be happy,
and never blue?

The Bible tells us why
Our Lord was crucified:
He died to save our souls,
He died to make us whole;
He intercedes for us
In manner glorious;
We can rely on Him
for joy and peace.

Let us praise Jesus for what He's done:
Now risen to heaven, He's made us one;
Let us praise the Lord for gift
Of His Son, and life anew!
Why not be happy?
Why not be happy?
Why not be happy, instead of blue?
