Fill your life with sunshine

Representative Text

1 Fill your life with sunshine from those cloudless skies,
Where the never-fading lights in splendor rise;
Fill it with the rays that burn for faith’s clear eyes,
Fill your life with sunshine from above.

Refrain:
Fill your life with sunshine!
Blessed heav’nly sunshine!
Fill your life with sunshine from above!
Fill it with the glory of redeeming love,
Fill your life with sunshine from above.

2 Open wide your heart and let his light shine in,
Driving out all hidden wrong and secret sin;
Let the healing presence now its work begin,
Fill your life with sunshine from above. [Refrain]

3 Let His blessed sunshine on your pathway shine
Turn the eyes of others to the source divine;
Say to all, “that light will gladden thee and thine,
Fill your life with sunshine from above.” [Refrain]
