844. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam

1 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.

2 Jesus wants me to be loving
And kind to all I see,
Showing how pleasant and happy
His little one may be.

3 I will ask Jesus to help me
To keep my heart from sin;
Ever reflecting his goodness,
And always shine for him.

4 I’ll be a sunbeam for Jesus,
I can if I but try,
Serving him moment by moment,
Then live with him on high.
