How Happy Is The Man

How Happy Is The Man
Music by Melanie Harrington Alcazar
Lyrics by Arlene Pourroy

The man I choose, said God the Lord, the man I choose, his staff shall
bloom.
And on that morn, that bright clear morn, barren staff had bud, and bloom,
and fruit.
And on that morn, the bright clear morn, the barren staff had bud, and
bloom, and fruit.
Hoe happy is the man whom God shall choose.
And when the fruit became a tree.
God chose the man we know as Jesus Christ.
He knew the kingdom of God, is real and now, and man is loved child of God.
For this he died, but from the tomb he rose to show man’s everlasting life
in God.
How happy is the man sustained by such a tree.
And from that tree a forest grows of voices ever sounding more and more;
And on this morn, this very morn, God chooses us to life in Christ.
And on this morn, this very morn, the barren hope is raised to joy and
life.
How happy, how happy is the man whom God shall choose.
