Happy in prison

G C G

I am happy in a prison, yes, I'm happy anywhere,

D G

in my soul my savior's risen, of ten thousand he is spared.

G C G

1. Glory, glory, hallelujah, sinners lay your burdens down,

D G

glory, glory, hallelujah, for a cross receive a crown.

+ G - C - G - G - D - G

2. When the food is low and failing, and the children bare for clothes,

D G

I look up to father's healing for I know my savior knows.

G C G

I am happy in a prison, yes, I'm happy anywhere,

D G

in my soul my savior's risen, of ten thousand he is spared.

+ G - C - G - G - D - G

G C G

3. Pentecostal fire is burning, and its coming draweth nigh,

D G

but I'm happy, always happy, though in prison I must die.

G C G

I am happy in a prison, yes, I'm happy anywhere,

D G

in my soul my savior's risen, of ten thousand he is spared.
