I recently wrote this song, not to imply that you should always be cheerful, because there is a time in life for everything....to be sad, to be angry, and so on. The message in the song is, that as a Christian, God is in control, and He has a wonderful plan for your life...which that in itself, is a reason to be cheerful. The choice is yours to believe and embrace this truth, or not. To embrace it, can be a powerful source of encouragement to others :)
