Sing With Me!

As I lay in bed this morning trying to talk myself into getting up, I began to think about my life. Anyone who knows me, knows that by nature I'm kind of a "glass half-empty" kind of girl. But this morning despite the freezing cold outside and my own fatigue, I was filled with a sense of joy straight from the Lord for all of the very good things in my life. All of the sudden an old hymn that I used to love popped into my head and is now firmly lodged there so I thought I would share it with you and maybe brighten your day too...

Sunshine in My Soul

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.

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

Refrain

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

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

Despite all of the garbage going on in the economy and in the world around us, there is reason for hope and pure joy. So often I lose sight of this, but God is working on me. Now don't expect me to do something rash like run out an join a ladies small group because of this epiphany. God is growing me toward joy in baby steps.

I hope this song gets lodged in your heart today too!
