while you sing along.
00:00:07.97\00:00:10.07

00:00:10.11\00:00:12.04

La la la La la la
00:00:20.08\00:00:25.29
There's an old
Arlen and Mercer tune
00:00:25.32\00:00:27.29
that goes like this.
00:00:27.32\00:00:29.16
You've got to
accentuate the positive
00:00:29.19\00:00:33.56
Eliminate the negative
00:00:33.60\00:00:36.67
Latch on to the affirmative
00:00:36.70\00:00:39.77
Don't mess with
Mister In-Between
00:00:39.80\00:00:42.40
You've got to spread
joy up to the maximum
00:00:42.44\00:00:46.07
Bring gloom down to the minimum
00:00:46.11\00:00:49.08
And have faith or pandemonium
00:00:49.11\00:00:52.11
Liable to walk upon the scene
00:00:52.15\00:00:54.52
To illustrate my last
remark Jonah in the whale,
00:00:54.55\00:00:59.05
Noah in the ark What did they do
00:00:59.09\00:01:02.49
Just when
everything looked so dark?
00:01:02.52\00:01:06.46
Man, they said, "We
better Accentuate the positive
00:01:06.49\00:01:11.00
Eliminate the negative
00:01:11.03\00:01:14.07
Latch on to the affirmative
00:01:14.10\00:01:17.17
Don't mess with
Mister In-Between"
00:01:17.21\00:01:22.11
That is such a great
lyric and wonderful advice.
00:01:22.14\00:01:25.21
You know, keeping
a positive outlook
00:01:25.25\00:01:26.82
is a lot easier
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.18
if you do what Paul suggested
to the Christians in Philippi.
00:01:28.22\00:01:31.69
In Philippians 4:8,
Paul said, "Finally brethren,
00:01:31.72\00:01:34.96
whatever things
are true, noble, just,
00:01:34.99\00:01:38.19
whatever things are
pure, lovely, of good report,
00:01:38.23\00:01:41.46
if there's any virtue
00:01:41.50\00:01:42.83
and if there's
anything praiseworthy
00:01:42.86\00:01:44.77
meditate on these things."
00:01:44.80\00:01:46.63
That's a great way to
keep a positive outlook.
00:01:46.67\00:01:49.14
Now I received a
request from Ben,
00:01:49.17\00:01:51.64
he said he was from
the state of confusion
00:01:51.67\00:01:53.58
and he requested
Bubba Shot The Jukebox,
00:01:53.61\00:01:56.48
but instead I think
we're going to sing one
00:01:56.51\00:01:58.85
for Ellen in Oregon,
who signed her email,
00:01:58.88\00:02:01.68
Keep Living on the Sunny Side.
00:02:01.72\00:02:03.65
Here's Keep on the
Sunny Side of Life.
00:02:03.69\00:02:05.69
There's a dark and a
troubled side of life
00:02:11.06\00:02:16.16
There's a bright
and a sunny side too
00:02:16.20\00:02:21.40
Tho' we meet with
the darkness and strife
00:02:21.44\00:02:26.84
The sunny side we also may view
00:02:26.88\00:02:32.41
Keep on the sunny side
00:02:32.45\00:02:35.02

00:02:37.49\00:02:42.02
It will help us every day
00:02:42.06\00:02:44.56
It will brighten all the way
00:02:44.59\00:02:47.16
If we keep on the
sunny side of life
00:02:47.20\00:02:52.53
Let us greet with a
song of hope each day
00:02:52.57\00:02:57.84
Tho' the moments
be cloudy or fair
00:02:57.87\00:03:02.98
Let us trust in our Savior alway
00:03:03.01\00:03:08.62
Who keepeth
every one in His care
00:03:08.65\00:03:13.99
Keep on the sunny side
00:03:14.02\00:03:16.86
Always on the sunny side
00:03:16.89\00:03:19.36
Keep on the sunny side of life
00:03:19.39\00:03:23.93
It will help us every day
00:03:23.97\00:03:26.50
It will brighten all the way
00:03:26.53\00:03:29.04
If we keep on the
sunny side of life
00:03:29.07\00:03:32.97
I'll sing that again.
00:03:33.01\00:03:34.34
So keep on the sunny
side Always on the sunny side
00:03:34.38\00:03:40.12

00:03:47.42\00:03:49.92
If we keep on the
sunny side of life
00:03:49.96\00:03:55.66
It's great advice.
00:03:58.67\00:04:00.77
Clifford and
McIntyre, Tennessee,
00:04:00.80\00:04:02.97
requested, His Love
that Makes Us Happy.
00:04:03.00\00:04:05.67
This world is full of sorrow
Of sickness, death, and sin
00:04:18.65\00:04:25.16
With loving
heart we'll do our part
00:04:25.19\00:04:28.56
And try some soul to win
00:04:28.60\00:04:32.73
And when this life is over
00:04:32.77\00:04:36.10
And we are called above
00:04:36.14\00:04:39.41
Our song shall be, eternally
00:04:39.44\00:04:43.41
Of Jesus and His love
00:04:43.45\00:04:48.92

His little children
00:04:48.95\00:04:54.99
God is love,
00:04:55.02\00:04:58.49
We would be like Him
00:04:58.53\00:05:00.53
'Tis love that makes us happy
00:05:00.56\00:05:03.73
'Tis love that smoothes the way
00:05:03.77\00:05:06.90
It helps us
mind, it makes us kind
00:05:06.94\00:05:10.11
To others ev'ry day
00:05:10.14\00:05:13.38
I'll sing it out now.
00:05:13.41\00:05:14.81

00:05:32.63\00:05:35.83
To others ev'ry day
00:05:35.86\00:05:41.14
And now from Ira Stanphill
00:05:43.94\00:05:45.91
who is the writer of
Mansion Over the Hill Top,
00:05:45.94\00:05:48.38
and Room at the
Cross, great songs,
00:05:48.41\00:05:50.75
comes a fun tune from
1974, Happiness is the Lord.
00:05:50.78\00:05:55.12
The inspiration
for this song came
00:05:55.15\00:05:56.85
when Ira was listening
to a radio advertisement
00:05:56.89\00:05:59.12
for a bar's happy hour.
00:05:59.15\00:06:01.19
He wanted to write a song
00:06:01.22\00:06:02.56
expressing that
the only real happiness
00:06:02.59\00:06:04.86
comes from knowing Jesus Christ.
00:06:04.89\00:06:06.73
Happiness is the Lord.
00:06:06.76\00:06:08.40
Happiness is to know the Savior
00:06:14.24\00:06:17.37
Living a life within His favor
00:06:17.41\00:06:20.68
Having a change in my behavior
00:06:20.71\00:06:23.88
Happiness is the Lord
00:06:23.91\00:06:28.68
Happiness is a new creation
00:06:28.72\00:06:31.95
"Jesus and me" in close relation
00:06:31.99\00:06:35.19
Having a part in His salvation
00:06:35.22\00:06:38.33
Happiness is the Lord
00:06:38.36\00:06:41.13
Real joy is mine
00:06:41.16\00:06:44.20
No matter if teardrops start
00:06:44.23\00:06:47.37
I've found the secret
00:06:47.40\00:06:50.21
It's Jesus in my heart
00:06:50.24\00:06:55.44
Happiness is to be forgiven
00:06:55.48\00:06:58.55
Living a life
that's worth the livin'
00:06:58.58\00:07:01.78
Taking a trip
that leads to heaven
00:07:01.82\00:07:04.99
Happiness is the Lord
00:07:05.02\00:07:07.76
Real joy is mine
00:07:07.79\00:07:10.96

00:07:10.99\00:07:14.13
I've found the secret
00:07:14.16\00:07:17.33
It's Jesus in my heart!
00:07:17.37\00:07:22.50
Happiness is to be forgiven
00:07:22.54\00:07:25.57
Living a life
that's worth the livin'
00:07:25.61\00:07:28.71
Taking a trip

00:07:28.74\00:07:32.05
Happiness is the
Lord Happiness is the Lord
00:07:32.08\00:07:37.22
Sing it one more time.
