Alexander's Hymns No. 3 ‎#86

86. Let Your Life Be Sunshine

1 You can be a blessing ev’ry day that you may live,
Cheering, helping others, by the kindness you can give;
Spreading love and sunlight ev’rywhere that you may go,
Driving out the gloom and sorrow other hearts may know.

Refrain:
Let your life be sunshine, white as driven snow,
Fill the world with gladness ev’rywhere you go;
You can be a blessing, full of grace, and true,
If you will let Jesus
Show His love thro’ you.

2 All about you daily there are many burdened souls,
You can greatly strengthen when the heavy tempest rolls;
Shall they struggle on in vain, without a cheering word?
Will you lend a helping hand to bring them to your Lord? [Refrain]

3 Tho’ a humble worker you may be, and very weak,
There are kind and loving words to others you may speak;
Words that, like the sunshine, flash a ray of hope and song
Into sad and weary hearts, and make them glad and strong. [Refrain]

4 We may be a blessing unto others if we try,
Jesus waits to help us, by His Spirit from on high;
Let us then go forth to live and work for Christ, our King,
Winning precious souls to Him and they His praise will sing. [Refrain]
