I am happy in a prison, yes, I'm happy anywhere, 
                                                           D                      G 
in my soul my savior's risen, of ten thousand he is spared. 

                  G                                   C                         G 
    Glory, glory, hallelujah, sinners lay your burdens down, 
                                                    D                      G 
    glory, glory, hallelujah, for a cross receive a crown.

    When the food is low and failing, and the children bare for clothes, 
                                                           D                       G 
    I look up to father's healing for I know my savior knows. 

         G                                         C                G 
I am happy in a prison, yes, I'm happy anywhere, 
                                                           D                      G 
in my soul my savior's risen, of ten thousand he is spared.

               G                                          C                        G 
    Pentecostal fire is burning, and its coming draweth nigh, 
                                                                      D                 G 
    but I'm happy, always happy, though in prison I must die. 

         G                                         C                G 
I am happy in a prison, yes, I'm happy anywhere, 
                                                              D                      G 
in my soul my savior's risen, of ten thousand he is spared.
