Sunshine of My Soul
Verse 1
In the watches of the night, I searched for my heart,
Like the maiden in the story, looking through the dark.
Then I found the one my soul has always loved,
A gift sent down from Heaven, a blessing from above.
Your eyes shine with kindness, your spirit shines with grace,
Every room grows brighter when sunshine fills the place.
You lift the weary, help the hurting stand,
With a heart that loves God and serves with open hands.
Chorus
Oh Sunshine, you’re the light upon my way,
The warmth that drives the shadows all away.
Like a lily among thorns, so beautiful to me,
My beloved, my treasure, my answered prayer to see.
I found the one my soul loves, and I won’t let you go,
My Sunshine, God’s greatest blessing I know.
Verse 2
You seek the Lord in every season of your life,
With faith through every blessing, faith through every fight.
Your beauty runs much deeper than these eyes can see,
It’s the love of Christ within you that means the world to me.
When others need compassion, you’re the first to understand,
Offering hope and mercy with a gentle hand.
The way you love our family, the way you kneel and pray,
Shows me God’s faithfulness more every day.
Chorus
Oh Sunshine, you’re the light upon my way,
The warmth that drives the shadows all away.
Like a lily among thorns, so beautiful to me,
My beloved, my treasure, my answered prayer to see.
I found the one my soul loves, and I won’t let you go,
My Sunshine, God’s greatest blessing I know.
Bridge
Daughters of Jerusalem, hear my testimony,
The Lord has been so faithful, His goodness I have seen.
For the one I’ve searched for, the one my soul adores,
Is standing right beside me, and I’ll love her evermore.
Final Chorus
Oh Sunshine, you’re the light upon my way,
God’s mercy in my life displayed each day.
Your eyes reflect His glory, your heart reflects His grace,
And every year together makes me love you more this way.
I found the one my soul loves, and I won’t let you go,
My Sunshine, forever and always, I want you to know.
Outro
In the watches of the night, if I ever search again,
I’ll find my heart beside me where it’s always been.
For the one my soul loves, the one God chose for me,
Is my Sunshine, now and for eternity.
