Sunshine for My Day!

I enjoy taking my little Maggie dog on my daily walks. 

She gives me a good reason to talk and sing out loud.

And with rain sprinkling on our walk yesterday, 

it just brought a song out of me that I learned in church when I was a little girl.

I sung all the way to the end of our lane and back:

When He Put a Little Sunshine In

         by Albert E. Brumley

All the world is bright and cheery   And I'm singing ev'ry day,

In the place of burdens dreary,  I sing a joyful lay;

For He put a ray of gladness   Where the sorrow once had been,

Since Jesus took my heart all to pieces 

And put a little sunshine in.

All the clouds have silver linings,  Not a shadow is in sight,

Not a tho't of sad repining,   The way is always bright;

I was lost in sin and darkness   But the way is bright again,

Since Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in.

So I press along rejoicing   On the blessed glory road,

And I know that my Redeemer   Will share my ev'ry load;

I am singing hallelujah   For my soul is free from sin,

Since Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in.

Chorus:

When Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in,

He put a little joy and gladness

Where sadness once had been,

He gave a little love and glory

And took away the doubt and sin,

When Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in.

 

I wish you a sunny day today, my friend!
