In Jesus We Can Be Happy
by Sally Dime © 2006

Oh, what a crooked life I had
I grew up terribly broken
I was so empty and so sad
My heart’s worth less than a token

I was forbidden to have friends
I had no friends I call my own
My life was scattered like the sands
I was so aloof and alone

I didn’t know how to love and care
I’d never learned to be happy
Behind my smile; life wasn’t fair
Was a wreck and so unworthy

Then I knew from the Lord of hosts
That I am His and His alone
He is a Friend that I can boast
He loves me and I am His own

He taught me to love and to care
Be friends to them who need it more
He knew me from strands of my hair
To number of cells trapped in gore

I am no longer as empty
As a barrel without water
He fills me with love so deeply
Into my heart; he doesn’t falter

Jesus’ the perfect Friend we have
Doesn’t leave us sad and lonely
He always fills us with His love
In Jesus, we can be happy
