Lyrics
Here’s a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don’t worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry, you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy, Don’t worry, be happy now, Don’t worry
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Be happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Don’t worry, be happy
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Don’t worry
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Be happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Don’t worry, be happy
Ain’t got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don’t worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don’t worry, be happy (look at me, I’m happy) Don’t worry
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Be happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Hey I give you my phone number
When you worry, call me, I make you happy
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Don’t worry
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Be happy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no style
Ain’t got no gal to make you
‘Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don’t worry, be happy, Don’t worry, be happy now, Don’t worry
Now there is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note for note, like good little children
Don’t worry, be happy
Now listen to what I said, in your life expect some trouble
But when you worry, you make it double
But don’t worry, be happy, be happy now Don’t worry
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Put a smile in your face, don’t bring everybody down like this

Lyrics
Verse 1
Come and behold Him
Come see His glory
Come with an honest heart
To see all He is
We will discover
All of His beauty
His light will burn away
All the darkness we’ve known
Chorus
Come and behold Him
Come and behold Him
Come with an honest heart
To see all He is
Come and behold Him
Wait now before Him
Come with an honest heart
To see all He is
Verse 2
Come and behold Him
Come see His mercy
Come find His tenderness
Reaching to you
Just as a mirror
Shows a reflection
His Word and Spirit come
Now reflecting His love

Lord we vow to live holy
Bowing our knees to You only

Staying together
Praying together
Any storm we can weather
Trusting in God’s Word
