Lily was a little girl who lived with her mother and older brother in a little country village. She was in the habit of singing to herself all the time her brother was away at school. Dung the day she had no companions or playmates, and I wondered how she could spend day after day singing as she did.
I got her alone one day and asked her what made her sing.
“Because I’m happy,” was her simple reply.
This is exactly why the Christian sings. God has saved him. Now the burden of his sins is gone, and he is happy. He has Jesus as his Saviour now, and he is on his way home to heaven. That should make anyone happy, shouldn’t it?
Dear young friend, are you happy? Has Jesus saved you? Can you sing with truth:
“Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away”?
