Sun Shines

The sun shines
On the 
Wicked 
And righteous
The rain falls
On the
Just and 
The unjust

For His mercies are brand new
Every morning for me and you
So to the hills we should lift up our eyes
When we wake to another sunrise

While we
Were sinning
Against Him
Jesus died for us
And if you
Are sinning
Against Him
He's faithful and just

To forgive you of every sin
And cleanse you from all unrighteousness
If you turn from whatever is wrong
And  with godly sorrow confess... your need

For His mercies... are brand new
Every morning for me and you
So to the hills we should lift up our eyes
When we wake to another sunrise
