Paul wrote about joy in prison!

Happiness is….

Happiness is to know the Saviour, Living a life within His favour,

Having a change in my behaviour,

Happiness is the Lord.

Happiness is….

Happiness is to be forgiven, Living a life that's worth the livin',

Taking a trip that leads to Heaven,

Happiness is the Lord.

Happiness is….

Real joy is mine,

No matter if the teardrops start,

I've found the secret,

It's Jesus in my heart, (Hallelujah)

Happiness is….

Happiness is to be forgiven,

Living a life that's worth the livin',

Taking a trip that leads to Heaven,

Happiness is the Lord,

Happiness is the Lord,

Happiness is the Lord.

And I thank you, Lord,for the trials that come my way.In that way I can grow each day

as I let you lead,And I thank you, Lord,

for the patience those trials bring.In that process of growing,

I can learn to care.

But it goes against the way I amTo put my human nature down

And let the Spirit take control of all I do.

'Cause when those trials come,My human nature shouts the thing to do;and God's soft prompting can be easily

ignored.

But I thank you, Lord,with each trial I feel inside,

that you're there to help, lead and guide Me away from wrong.

'Cause you promised, Lord,That with each trial and testing,

That your way of escaping is easier to bear.

But it goes against the way I amTo put my human nature down

And let the Spirit take control of all I do.

'Cause when those trials come,My human nature shouts the thing to do;and God's soft prompting can be easily

ignored.

What gets better with age?

Wine and violin

What gets sweeter with time?

Your service to the Lord!

Since I started for the Kingdom,Since my life He controls,Since I gave my heart to Jesus,The longer I serve Him,The sweeter He grows.

ChorusThe longer serve Him, the sweeter He grows,The more that I love Him, more love He bestows;Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows,The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.

Ev'ry need He is supplying,Plenteous grace He bestows;Ev'ry day my way gets brighter,The longer I serve Him,The sweeter He grows.

ChorusThe longer serve Him, the sweeter He grows,The more that I love Him, more love He bestows;Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows,The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
