The song "Happy Days" by Various Artists Interpreted by A.M.P. begins with a joyful exclamation of "oh happy day," repeated multiple times. This exultant phrase is followed by the assertion that Jesus washed away the singer's sins, leading to even greater happiness. This is a reference to Christian salvation, the belief that Jesus' death on the cross made it possible for believers to be forgiven for their sins and thereby attain eternal life.
In the second verse, the singer expresses gratitude to Jesus for teaching them how to "watch, fight and pray" and for helping them live in a state of constant joy. The idea of fighting and praying may be a reference to the Christian concept of spiritual warfare, which involves resisting temptation and striving to live in accordance with God's will.
Overall, the song is a celebration of Christian faith and the immense joy that comes with salvation. The repetition of the phrase "oh happy day" throughout the song serves to emphasize the singer's happiness and gratitude.
