Forget your troubles and just get happy
You better chase all your cares away.
Sing hallelujah, come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day.
The sun is shinin’, come on, get happy
The lord is waiting to take your hand.
Shout hallelujah, come on, get happy
We’re going to the promised land.

We’re headin’ ’cross the river,
Wash your sins ’way in the tide.
It’s all so peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Shout Hallelujah! Come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
