HAPPY DAY

O, Happy Day… when Jesus washed my sins away.

O happy day that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.
 
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

A very clear statement is made in Hebrews 10:10 concerning this Happy Day: “Our sins are washed away and we are made clean because Christ gave His own body as a gift to God. He did this once for all time.” David pleaded with the Lord in Psalm 51:2: “Wash me inside and out from my wrong-doing and make me clean from my sin. In the Acts of the Apostles 22:16: “What are you waiting for? Get up! Be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on His name.”
 
We are clean inside and outside…O Happy Day!
We just have to call on his name.

“This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent —Jesus Christ.” Jesus
