The Sun Shines So Much Brighter
The sun shines so much brighter
Since my Lord I came to know;
Those heavy burdens lifted,
The garden takes on a glow.
Never had I ever seen
Such a glory in a flower,
Till my weary soul was saved
By God's mercy, grace and power.
The moon now shines to praise Him,
As I've never seen before,
And the shining stars above
Now are sparkling even more.
As I look up toward heaven,
And on this earth all around,
I can only stand in awe
Of such beauty to be found.
What a wondrous change takes place
As our eyes are opened to view
The creation of our God
Through a heart made clean and new.
A portion of His kingdom
Lights this earth with heaven's glow;
The Sun Shines So Much Brighter
Since my Lord I came to know.
"Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light."
"... the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light
of the sun shall be sevenfold...in the day that the Lord bindeth up the
breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
(Ps.148:3; Isa.30:26)
