Verse 1
I woke up this morning with happiness in my heart
I have a reason to celebrate; I got a brand new start.
I gave my life to Christ you see; was some time ago
And every year that rolls around I like the world to know.

Chorus
Happy birthday (2xs) I've been born again
"        "        (2xs) I'm a new kid in Him
"        "        (2xs) now free from sin
"        "        (2xs) come celebrate with me!

Verse 2
I can celebrate with cake and candle; what a great idea
But God has a party planned; One that won't be here
In Heaven above, we'll celebrate at God's great big table
With our blessed Savior, Jesus Christ and a whole bunch of angels!

Chorus

Verse 3
I know Jesus for myself at an early age
I asked Him to live in me; my life He now reigns
You can have 2 birthdays, too; it's really plain and simple
Believe in Jesus, God's only Son; He'll come that very instant

Chorus

Verse 4
There's one more thing I didn't say; it's not just some party
Everyone will sing to God, "Holy, Holy, Holy"
You can come, if you're clean, washed in the blood of Jesus
Only through Him, can you enter in; Please RSVP

Chorus
