Sunshine In My Soul

"And His brightness was like the sunlight;

rays streamed from His hand, and there,

in the sun like splendor was the 

hiding place of His power."

Habakuk 3:4

There is sunshine in my soul today,

More glorious and bright

Than glows in any earthly sky,

For Jesus is my Light.

O there's sunshine, blessed sunshine,

When the peaceful, happy moments roll;

When Jesus shows His smiling face,

There is sunshine in the soul.

There is music in my soul today,

A carol to my King,

And Jesus, listening, can hear

The songs I cannot sing.

There is springtime in my soul today

For, when the Lord is near,

The dove of peace sings in my heart,

The flowers of grace appear.

There is gladness in my soul today,

And hope and praise and love,

For blessings which He gives me now,

For joys "laid up" above.
