I’ve Let the Sunshine In

When my life with sin was filled

In my wick­ed heart I willed

That I’d serve with all my pow­er the prince of sin;

But a voice did me im­plore

There is some­one at the door;

Will you let the bless­èd sun­shine in?

O the sun­shine

bless­èd sun­shine

How it fills with joy this hap­py heart of mine;

For I’ve cleared the dark­ened win­dows

I have op­ened wide the door

And I’ve let the bless­èd sun­shine in.

Yielding not my stub­born will

Tho’ the call came loud­er still

Till I saw my­self an out­cast

vile with­in;

Then I could hold out no more

So I op­ened wide the door

And I let the bless­èd sun­shine in.

Now my faith has strong­er grown

I ap­proach the heav’n­ly throne

And I have the Spir­it wit­ness­ing with­in;

And the clear and per­fect light

Makes my path­way ev­er bright

For I’ve let the bless­èd sun­shine in.

In this bright and shin­ing way

I’m re­joic­ing ev­ery day

For I have no fears

but all is joy with­in;

And the Sav­ior is my light

Guiding all my steps aright

Since I’ve let the bless­èd sun­shine in.
