Happy is the One

Happy is the one whose sin
freely is forgiven
whose innocence has been declared
by the Lord of heaven,
Happy is the one.

I cried 'till I could cry no more
when my guilt in me remained;
I fell beneath the burning sun
'till forgiveness brought the rain
Happy is the one.

When I let my heart be known
and my confession made,
then I saw your mercy flow
to wash my guilt away.
Happy is the one.

People let your voice be heard
in prayer before your God:
He alone can rescue you
from trouble like a flood
Happy is the one.
