Sunday, March 29, 2020 “Oh Happy Day” The Edwin Hawkins Singers

So it’s Sunday and I thought since church is not socially available right now we would celebrate musically, not with Hozier taking us to church because that just felt a little dark but rather with the Edwin Hawkins Singers because, well they are rejoicing a happy day.

The lyrics are below and any of you that are brave enough to sing along I want you to record and share it. And if you are not clapping your hands or wondering why people in your church don’t celebrate like this or feeling even just a little bit spiritual while listening to these folks testify, then it’s probably time for some re-examination.

What else needs to be said, it will be a happy day. Be safe and well.

Oh, happy day (Oh, happy day)
Oh, happy day (Oh, happy day)
When Jesus washed (When Jesus washed)
Oh, when He washed (When Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (When Jesus washed)
He washed my sins away (Oh, happy day)
