Heavenly SON-light

I woke up this morning with this song in my head. And, what's more, the person singing it with me, in my head, was my Mom. It was like being transported back in time to church pews and song books and my Momma's sweet voice singing her deep love for Jesus, among other things. And, I know this is not a picture of the sun, but when I looked at it, it was a breath of fresh air. One of the things I loved about living in Biloxi, when we did, was the abiding peace I felt when we drove down Beach Boulevard. Same as the hope and joy of this song.

 

"Heavenly Son-light"

 

Walking in Son-light all of my journey;

Over the mountains, through the deep vale;

Jesus has said, "I'll never forsake thee,"

Promise divine that never can fail.

 

Heavenly Son-light, Heavenly Son-light,

Flooding my soul with glory divine:

Hallelujah, I am rejoicing,

Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.

 

Shadows around me, shadows above me,

Never conceal my Savior and Guide;

He is the Light, in Him is no darkness;

Ever I'm walking close to His side.

 

Heavenly Son-light, Heavenly Son-light,

Flooding my soul with glory divine:

Hallelujah, I am rejoicing,

Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.

 

In the bright sunlight, ever rejoicing,

Pressing my way to mansions above;

Singing His praises, gladly I'm walking

Walking in Son-light, Son-light of love.

 

Heavenly Son-light, Heavenly Son-light,

Flooding my soul with glory divine;

Hallelujah, I am rejoicing,

Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.

 

 

* P.S., I changed the word "sunlight" to "Son-light" because that, after all, is what it is! :)
