I'll Be A Sunbeam

Let your light so shine before men, 

that they may see your good works, 

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

- Matthew 5:16 -

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,

To shine for Him each day;

In every way try to please Him,

At home, at school, at play.

Jesus wants me to be loving,

And kind to all I see;

Showing how pleasant and happy,

His little one can be.

I will ask Jesus to help me

To keep my heart from sin;

Ever reflecting His goodness,

And always shine for Him.

I’ll be a sunbeam for Jesus,

I can if I but try;

Serving Him moment by moment,

Then live for Him on high.

Refrain:

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam;

A sunbeam, a sunbeam,

I’ll be a sunbeam for Him.

I was looking through an old hymnal the other day

and I came across this beloved song.

I haven't thought of it in years and when I began reading the words 

I was taken back to my childhood and the many times I sang it 

in Sunday School or with my mom.

While this might be a "children's" song,

it is a good reminder to be a sunbeam for Jesus

in all areas of my life. . .

to please Him wherever I am. . .

to reflect His goodness. . . 

to serve Him moment by moment.

Have a blessed Lord's Day, dear friends!
