As Ira F. Stanphill rode in his car, he listened to some commercial programs on the radio, some sponsored by establishments that advertised their happy hour and their alcoholic beverages. He also heard cigarettes being advertised in terms of how they bring happiness.
The word 'happiness' was used several times in the ads. Ira related to me that he thought at the time that happiness does not come with these things, but with knowing Christ. He continued, "as this thought really took over my mind I began to sing. I sang a new song, composing words and melody as I drove along. I sang it almost as it is published today." —Lindsay Terry
Happiness is not a thing or an experience but a Person. Happiness is the Lord Jesus Christ! Selah.
