I'll Be A Sunbeam
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

Read Aloud Poem:
Spiritual Heart
There is a very special part
Known within a spiritual heart
A heart that reaches out with care
Shining light upon those in dark despair.
At times this heart can be heard to cry
Yet sorrowful tears fall fast –then dry
And there’s a good reason why -
The eye of this heart stays focused on God's grace
Reaching out to souls,everywhere and every place.
Understanding ages past and knowing what lies ahead
Seeing the blessings of God,thankful always for daily Bread.
Eyes of the heart stay true to the vision
Of sharing Christ’s love continually with others-
Being part of His greatest mission.
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine
out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
