My Eternal Sunshine

The world sings a simple, tender tune, Of a sunshine that banishes the gray. But my soul knows a brighter,warmer noon, That turns even the darkest night to day. You are my sunshine,Lord, my constant light, The dawn that breaks upon my deepest sleep. You drove the shadows out with glorious might, And a promise You are faithful still to keep.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—” A psalm I whisper when the fears draw near. “—whom shall I fear?”In every situation, Your brilliant radiance displaces fear. (Psalm 27:1)

You are the sun that never knows its setting, No cloud of doubt can truly hide Your face. In love and grace my lonely heart is fretting, You find me always in my hiding place. You are the star that guided seeking men, A fixed and faithful beacon,burning true. You light the path,and then light it again, To show my wandering heart the way to You.

“I am the light of the world.” You declared, “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness.” In Your brilliant truth,my brokenness is bared, Then mended by the kindness of Your brightness. (John 8:12)

So let the simple melody be true, But known in depth the world has never known. My sunshine is the One who made the morning new, And calls me,His own child, to come home. For no earthly sun can promise never to depart, But Your light is forever,sealed upon my soul. The sunshine of Your presence in my heart, Is the great I AM who makes the broken whole.

“The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.” (Revelation 21:23)

You are my sunshine, my eternal dawn. The Word that spoke the first light into birth. The darkness is gone. The darkness is gone.
