YOU ARE OUR SUNSHINE

As the sun’s rays penetrate

And the body absorbs same,

Is Your tender loving touch

With the wonder of Your name.

As the sun’s warmth and glow

Plants a smile on our face,

Is Your sweet and gentle fellowship

Enveloped with Your grace.

The sunshine always gives us hope

And lights up our darkest days;

It ignites a joy from within

With a beauty that remains.

The sun inspires us in many ways

To pursue many things,

Where adventures become a norm

With freedom this so brings.

But there is a special Son

That will light our path indeed,

God’s only Son, Jesus Christ;

A lamp for our feet.

This Son will never scorch us

And although we feel the heat,

His yoke is light and will ease burdens

So we do not taste defeat.

God’s anointed Son

Will warm our weary soul;

Bring sunshine to a heavy heart

To instil much joy behold!

Jesus is our sunshine;

A ray of hope and inspiration,

Who ignites our soul with true faith;

With faithfulness and patience.

And when our tear drops cascade

He’ll put a rainbow in our heart,

As His sunshine with His covenant

Guarantees a brand new start.

He will never flood our soul

So we’re overwhelmed with pain,

But instead will heal us as we cry

As we trust in Him again.

Our sunshine and our sweet delight

As we bow to only You,

And worship You with all our heart

As You transform and make things new.
