When dark and gray
Are the clouds above me,
When tossed are the branches
Of the tree,

When deeply quiet
Is the bird’s song,
When the wind blows
Fierce and strong,



When rain falls
Upon the ground,
When dampness and cold
Seem to abound,

I cry out for You,
Your Name I call,
Asking You to save me
From it all,



To lift me high
In Your arms,
Where Your embrace
Wonderfully warms,

To dry my tears,
To kiss away the rain,
To wash away my hurt,
To erase my pain,



To sing of Heaven,
To smile with Your love,
To remind me of treasures
Waiting high above..

And suddenly sunshine
Seems to abound,
For eternal light
In Your eyes I’ve found,



Your Voice, my Jesus,
Is the sweetest song,
In Your arms
I forever belong,

Yes, when dark and gray
Are the clouds above me,
I rejoice in the Sunshine
You are to me!

'I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness,
