Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, To shine for Him each day, In every way try to please Him, At home, as school, at play. CHORUS: A sunbeam, a sunbeam, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, A sunbeam, a sunbeam, I'll be a sunbeam for Him. Words:  Nellie Talbot   Music:  Edwin Othello Excell, circa 1900.  He dedicated this song to his grandson, Edwin O. Excell, Jr.
