1. Before I became a Christian I loved to rock and roll I’d let the music move me And motivate my soul But then I found the Lord I thought I’d rock no more I turned to hymns and All the gospel music that was slower I should have been rejoicing But when I found instead I wasn’t really happy He spoke to me and said

2. Come on, be happy You’re a Christian! (repeat) Come on, Come on, Come on!

3. The Lord said to Rejoice in Him And let our Joy be full We’ve got to lead the good life And let His glory show I want to speak to everyone In my earthly walk If music moves the people then I’ll show them how to rock I know I’ve got a purpose I know it can’t be wrong To show the people how to put His happiness in song

4. Come on, be happy You’re a Christian! (repeat) Come on, Come on, Come on!

5. Some people like a Cadillac Some people watch TV Some people wear their fancy clothes For everyone to see Some people like to read books Some play Monopoly Some like a game of baseball While some would rather ski Some people like to play guitar Or shake a tambourine I like to praise the Lord And get excited as I sing!

6. Come on, be happy You’re a Christian! (repeat) Come on, Come on, Come on!
