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\u2019ll 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. I will ask Jesus to help me To keep my heart from sin; Ever reflecting His goodness, And always shine for Him. I\u2019ll be a sunbeam for Jesus, I can if I but try; Serving Him moment by moment, Then live for Him on high.
