[edit] Lyrics
- 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.
- Refrain
- A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
- Jesus wants me for a sunbeam;
- A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
- I’ll be a sunbeam for Him.
- Jesus wants me to be loving,
- And kind to all I see;
- Showing how pleasant and happy
- His little one can be.
- Refrain
- I will ask Jesus to help me
- To keep my heart from sin,
- Ever reflecting His goodness,
- And always shine for Him.
- Refrain
- I’ll be a sunbeam for Jesus;
- I can if I but try;
- Serving Him moment by moment,
- Then live with Him on high.
- Refrain
