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 may be.
I will ask Jesus to help me,
To keep my heart from sin;
Ever reflecting His goodness,
And always shine for Him.
I’d be a sunbeam for Jesus,
Who came for me to die;
Serving Him moment by moment,
Then live with Him on high.
