                Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
          
                
                  
                    
  
    1. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
    To shine for him each day;
    In ev’ry way try to please him,
    At home, at school, at play.
  
  
    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 can be.
    
  
  
    A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
    Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
    A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
    I’ll be a sunbeam for him.
