Songs for visitors

I am going to sing a song for visitors.

This is the day

For happiness

That I chose

The lord Jesus

The heart is full of joy

To spread his word

This is the day,

That is great,

When I was born,

In the savior,

He taught me how to pray,

And also celebrating always,

This is the day,

That is great,

When I was born,

In the savior

This is the day of happiness,

When I was forgiven my sin,

I am staying under the lord

He is staying in my heart,

This is the day,

That is great,

When I was born,

In the savior,

He taught me how to pray,

And also celebrating always,

This is the day,

That is great,

When I was born,

He removed my sin,

I am his child forever,

He leads as I follow him,

All my days forever,

This is the day,

That is great,

When I was born,

In the savior,

He taught me how to pray,

And also celebrating always,
