Lyrics

Verse 1

There is sunshine in my soul today,

More glorious and bright

Than glows in any earthly sky,

For Jesus is my light.

Verse 2

There is music in my soul today,

A carol to the King,

And Jesus, listening, can hear

The songs I cannot sing.

Verse 3

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.

Chorus

O there's sunshine, blessed sunshine,

While the peaceful happy moments roll;

When Jesus shows His smiling face

There is sunshine in my soul.

Scriptural Foundations

Preference: NASB 2020
  • 6Now these things, brothers and sisters, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos on your account, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.
