THE SUNSHINE OF LIFE
The storm has passed over;
And the sun is shining bright.
The whole earth seems to sparkle;
In it’s soft soothing light.
How wonderful to feel it’s warmth;
As it shines upon our day.
To bask in it’s freshness;
And view the beauty on display.
Flowers sparkle in dazzling colors;
And the grass is green as green can be.
God sends the sunshine on this earth;
All its beauty for us to see.
There is a different kind of sunshine;
One God sends into our life.
It’s a sunshine of hope and happiness;
It’s a freedom from all strife.
Life’s sunshine is so wonderful;
And we enjoy it in every way.
There is one big problem though;
We forget to thank God for it each day.
God blesses us with the sunshine of happiness;
He blesses us with the sunshine of Love.
God blesses us with the sunshine of laughter;
And above all the promise of Heaven above.
With all these blessings of His Sunshine;
How could we possibly forget to say,
Thank you Lord for every blessing,
Of life’s sunshine you send our way.
