Chorus / Description :
Oh it is wonderful to be a Christian
Oh it is wonderful to be God's child
Oh it is wonderful to have your sins forgiven
Oh it is wonderful to be redeemed
Justified forever reconciled
Life has purpose now it never had before
There is meaning to each day and even more
For a joy and peace I can't explain is mine
Since I found new life in Christ my Lord divine
Oh it is wonderful to be a Christian
Oh it is wonderful to be God's child
Oh it is wonderful to have your sins forgiven
Oh it is wonderful to be redeemed
Justified forever reconciled
I can go directly to the Lord in prayer
He has told me I may boldly enter there
And He listens as His promises I plead
I find mercy there and grace for ev'ry need
Oh it is wonderful to be a Christian
Oh it is wonderful to be God's child
Oh it is wonderful to have your sins forgiven
Oh it is wonderful to be redeemed
Justified forever reconciled
And the hope of heaven's glories thrills me so
Where I'll live with Christ forevermore I know
That is why the things of earth I loosely hold
I've eternal riches better far than gold
Oh it is wonderful to be a Christian
Oh it is wonderful to be God's child
Oh it is wonderful to have your sins forgiven
Oh it is wonderful to be redeemed
Justified forever reconciled
