Why I'M So Happy

the other day a friend asked me
why am I so happy?
I thought about what to say
for I didn't want to come off as sappy
so I told him I'm so happy
just because I'm alive
I told him I'm so happy 
because I have a 9-5
I told him I'm so happy
because I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ
I told him I'm so happy 
because God's in control of my life
i told him I'm so happy
because I know my final destination
for I have no fear of death 
as I have eternal salvation

to travel on this expressway 
that they call life
to be content with your situation
without any internal strife
to go about one's daily routine
and not having to be stressing
to know you have the grace of God
and on you He pours out His blessings
I am so happy just because I am me
and I have a ticket up to heaven
stamped with God's authority
