Over the top happiness song rejoicing in the Christian life. Recorded with much overdubbing on a couple of Akai tape decks back in 1978 using a Roland SH1000, Wem Organ and a Copy Cat Echo unit. Yes it was an experiment, but I still think its FUN!!

Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
When back in the late seventies I used to play on the Christian music circuit I couldn't get over how gloomy and deathly serious some of the artists were. For me my faith was a crazy joyful thing. Shouldn't 'Being Saved' be like that? So here is an expression of joy! That and a chance to fiddle about on a couple of tape recorders.
Lyrics
THE HAPPY SONG Happy, yes I'm very happy Happy to be singing now Happy that He's shown me truth And truth has set me free Truth can set you free Truth has set me free - Now Happy, well I know I'm happy Happy to be happy now Happy that I have found peace And peace has set me free Peace can set you free Peace has set me free - Now I am happy to be serving And be learning more about The ways which He has shown me I can follow Him (No turning back) I am happy to be free To tell you that I'm happy To be happy to be laughing And be here with you. Oh-ooby-doo-oo! Woo! Happy, yes you bet I'm happy Happy to be here with you Happy that I know that He really cares for me Jesus cares for you He really does love you - Now Happy, yes I'm absolutely happy Happy, Happy, It's a happy day Happy that I can be happy And that you're here with me Happy you're with me Happy to be me - Now Happy to know that my sins Were washed as white as cream When Jesus died upon that cross He made me clean (He set me free) Happy to be working, searching and researching His Word and every Word that He says to me is true (And I know He loves you) Happy, Happy, Happy, wooo! hah hah rrrr-ah Happy, Happy, Happy, I'm a happy happy man Happy, Happy, Happy, I'm a happy happy man Happee Happeeeeeeeeeee - eehh. Ha Ha Ha.
