There Is Sunshine in My Soul Today

630 There Is Sunshine in My Soul Today

1 There is sunshine in my soul today,
   More glorious and bright
   Than glows in any earthly sky,
   For Jesus is my light.

Refrain:
   O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine,
   When the peaceful happy moments roll:
   When Jesus shows His smiling face,
   There is sunshine in the soul.

2 There is music in my soul today,
   A carol to my King,
   And Jesus, listening, can hear
   The songs I cannot sing. [Refrain]

3 There is springtime in my soul today,
   For when the Lord is near,
   The dove of peace sings in my heart,
   The flowers of grace appear. [Refrain]

4 There is gladness in my soul today,
   And hope and praise and love
   For blessings which He gives me now,
   For joys "laid up" above. [Refrain]

Lest you think that this hymn is just a light, fluffy little piece, take a look at the bio of the author. Seems she developed a spinal malady that kept her a shut-in. And yet she wrote this hymn...
