I’ll Be a Sunbeam

Tune: Traditional (public domain)

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.

Chorus:

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.

Jesus Bids Us Shine

Tune: traditional hymn (public domain)

Jesus bids us shine, with a clear, pure light.

Like a little candle burning in the night.

In this world of darkness we must shine,

You in your small corner, and I in mine.

Jesus is the Light

Tune: If You’re Happy and your Know It

By Amanda Wilson

Jesus shines, Jesus shines,

He is the light!  (clap, clap)

Jesus shines, Jesus shines,

He is the light!  (clap, clap)

With God’s truth he leads the way,

Gives us hope for each new day,

Jesus shines, Jesus shines,

He is the light!  (clap, clap)

We can shine, we can shine,

Let’s be the light! (clap, clap)

We can shine, we can shine,

Let’s be the light! (clap, clap)

When we’re brave, when we serve,

When we teach and we forgive,

We can shine, we can shine,

Let’s be the light! (clap, clap).

NOTE: You can change out the adjectives in the last verse for other words like when we’re kind, when we mind, when we’re pure, when we obey, etc.
