Oh happy day
Tim Hughes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Death is beaten, You have rescued me
Sing it out, Jesus is alive
The empty cross, the empty grave
Life eternal, You have won the day
Shout it out, Jesus is alive
He's alive
Oh, happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh, happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed
When I stand in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am yours, Jesus, You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate, Jesus is alive
He's alive
And oh, happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh, happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Oh no, forever I am changed
Oh, what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
And oh, what a glorious day
What a glorious name
Hey, and oh, happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh, happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Oh no, forever I am changed
What a glorious, glorious day
I'll never be the same
The song "Happy Day" by Tim Hughes is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It starts off by declaring that the day Jesus rose from the dead was the greatest day in history because it marked the defeat of death and the rescue of humanity. The chorus rejoices in this fact, proclaiming that Jesus washed away our sins and we will never be the same again.
The song then goes on to describe what it will be like when we stand before Jesus face to face. We will be free at last and experience perfect peace and endless joy. The final chorus once again celebrates the fact that Jesus saved us and declares that we will never be the same because of it.
Overall, "Happy Day" is a powerful and uplifting song that reminds us of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for us and the amazing gift of salvation that we have received.
