Deciding to be Happy

A choice each morning
all through our days
choosing to live
in the grace of God

Deciding to be happy
wherever our feet land
dwelling in Christ
knowing the love of God

Choosing joy
even in affliction
the weight of the world
falling down on us

Changing our hearts
choosing to be happy
an inward smile
guiding our feet
