Lyrics:
Oh, happiness!
There’s grace enough for us
And the whole human race 

(Verse 1)
Friend or foe
Stranger or kin
All who come
Begin again

Hard or frail
Rich or poor
All in need
Need fear no more

Such a thing to give away

(Verse 2)
All regrets
Let go, forget
There’s something that
Mends all of it

Such a thing to give away

(Bridge)
Sound the church bells
Let them ring
Let them ring
For everything can be redeemed
We can be redeemed
Oh,all of us

Oh, happiness!
There’s grace enough for us
And the whole human race
About the Lyrics: This is a happy song! The lyrics speak of freedom and the joy we have in knowing that there is grace and mercy that is enough for us. No matter whether we’re rich or poor, hard or frail, God is there and there is Love and grace available to us! That is worth being joyful/happy about! This song speaks simply but eloquently about this great truth. (Grace is available to everyone - Romans 3:23-26, Ephesians 2:4-8; be joyful and praise Him! – Psalm 28:6-7, and many of the Psalms :) )
A little about the Music: The music is upbeat and extremely catchy! =) Once you’ve heard the song it’s likely to get stuck in your head. The keyboard part is dominant – and happy – fitting the words. It is the synth-y, bright part that plays a melody during the chorus’ (this will definitely get stuck in your head!!) David Crowder married the lyrics and music together well, and they definitely fit each other.
Here’s a cool video of the David Crowder*Band playing the song live:
